Severe pregnancy constipation - nothing is helping!

[DecemberRose19]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and have had the worst constipation and bloating for the past two weeks. I think I've managed to go to the toilet three times during this period and only very small and hard deposits 😅 I'm usually very regular!

My stomach is killing, just so uncomfortable.

I've been taking fibogel twice a day, drinking loads of water and eating lots of a fiber rich food. Is there anything else I can do? Can I take laxatives that are actually going to work?

Finally- will this get better as I move into the second trimester? I never had this with my previous pregnancy.

OP was 7 months ago. Hopefully she has had a bowel movement by now. Possibly even had a baby.

I’m the same it’s horrendous! I eat lentils, beans, prunes, drink lots of water and NOTHING helped

I’m 9 weeks and managing by drinking fybogels mixed with a bit of orange juice.
I also have taken Prunelax only take one tablet and be patient
I took two! Never again!

I never even noticed the date!
It just came up on the homepage, so had a look at it! 😂
