PLEASE PLEASE can someone help my friend? She is three months pregnant and has terrible constipation <sad>

It's really affecting her ability to enjoy her long waited for pregnancy and anyone who has suffered it will agree it's mostly uncomfortable but can also hurt like a b'stard. She has been to the doctor who prescribed some sort of laxative (name escapes me, it's some sort of herbally one) but it hasn't helped. There MUST be someone out there who found something that worked
Thanks!

I got terribly constipated when my morning sickness was very bad because I wasn't eating enough fibre and was dehydrated. The doctor prescribed a glycerine enema-type thing called Microlax which, although not pleasant to use worked amazingly well. This might help her to deal with the immediate sitaution and then try all the diet related tips to stop it reoccuring.

Dried prunes, dried apricots, dried figs plenty of water to drink.

Actavia is fab for this!!
