What can I take for constipation in pregnancy??

[LadyTophamHatt]

I'm nearly 10 weeks....

have tried eating loads of fruit but that makes no difference.
Bran flakes just give me belly ache and wind.

It's giving me stomach and making me feel even more sick than I already am...

Help!!

I swear by fibregel - it's safe to use and recommended by my mw. Worked for my 2 pregnancies!

Oh my recommendation for iron is Floradix - from health food shops. That is what I took in my last 2 pregnancies and hence didn't need the lactulose at all!

Im with SarahLou1UK - fibregel worked a treat for me. (I used the powered Senokot orange or lemon sachets.) Plus I developed a craving for bran flakes if you can believe such a thing!

I struggled drinking prune juice for weeks and figs - bleurgh, I can still taste them now months after I gave up.

Good luck.
