Hi!
Just coming up to my 14th week and have been constipated for the past 2 days.
Eaten loads of varied stuff, made no difference at all. Feeling pretty bloated and uncomfortable.
Has anyone got any remedies or tips?
Thanks :-)

Either speak with your doctor and they will prescribe you something, or prune juice.
If prune juice doesn't clear you out then definitely speak to your doctor

My Dr prescribed Lactulose which has been a lifesaver. 15mls every evening and I've been pretty regular since then

I found skipping my pregnancy vitamin for one evening really helped with the constipation. I guess it's the iron?

Possibly OP. I only take vitamin D so not had any issues.
Maybe switch to just taking vitamin D? Some of the pregnancy vitamins aren't worth the bottle they are in and some cause more problems than actually help!
I'd speak with your MW before you change anything though!
