Pregnacare tablets

[dlh90]

Morning!

Just after some advice really, I'm 16+6 weeks and I've noticed since using pregnacare tablets I'm really constipated.

Does anyone else get this? Also what do you take/do to help it?

I notice on days I don't take it till the afternoon I'm ok. But once I have I'm bunged up again.

Sorry for too much info!

Thanks

I used the pregnacare preconception whilst TTC and I'm now taking pregnacare max. I've not noticed them particularly making me constipated but they have got quite a lot of iron in them, which can make you constipated. All I can really suggest is eating prunes lol they work for me! Sorry I can't suggest anything better. Good luck!

I had terrible constipation in the early days of taking vitamins containing iron. It's best to take them with a large glass of fresh orange juice and also increase fibre / fruit intake (I found eating grapes were helpful). The odd day I would also need to take a stool softener.

It does get better though; after a few weeks it was like my body got used to it and the constipation slowly disappeared.
No idea if this contributed ....but I changed from the Pregnacare tablets to the liquid form which I found easier to take.

Thank you for all your advice it is appreciated. Think I will need to up my fibre intake. I feel so bloated at the moment.
