Sorry, constipation sucks!

I think I've been having some constipation, but I'm really dealing with indigestion. Man, didn't have any of this with my first pregnancy! This is throwing me for a loop!

Unfortunately, it has stuck around for me for the entire pregnancy (both times). It sucks. Prune juice, though disgusting, helps -- I try to have a glass a day (sometimes I mix it with OJ to dilute the taste). Fiber One bars have helped me too.

Oh I forgot about this. I took it after delivery with my first. I'm assuming its safe during pregnancy then!?!

Also, lots of water.

It took a few days to work but I legitimately weighed less when it did, lol.
