Lactulose helped me quickly. It's behind the pharmacy counter - pharmacist said it's safe in pregnancy. Hope you feel better soon.

Stool softner such as Laxido which you can buy across the counter or get prescription for.

Safe in pregnancy and a major help for constipation.

Kiwis saved me in the first trimester! Since then I've made sure to take fybrogel every other day to keep things moving, there's no way in hell I want to be that constipated again Confused

Water, water, water and a good walk or some yoga. I feel your pain!
