I've found drinking smoothies in the morning helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209667 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:37:38 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2209667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very early on :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209579 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 07:37:48 +0000 Adira 2209579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much immediately - around 4-5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209566 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 07:33:37 +0000 MrsADS 2209566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30w now, and the whole time. I am super prone to it anyways so it doesn't surprise me. I have to take Miralax every day (1-2 doses a day) and (TMI) have probably had to give myself 4-5 enemas during the course of the pregnancy when it got really out of control (OK'd by my OB and my GI doctor). Better than going to the hospital with a bowel obstruction.</p> <p>I have not taken any iron, and now it's low but I am afraid to take it due to the constipation issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209482 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 05:38:28 +0000 lamariniere 2209482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2nd trimester.</p> <p>@sarac: agree with the magnesium supplements. I also added flax to my yogurt and tried to drink a ton of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209470 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 04:59:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2209470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine started pretty early on (end of the 1st or at the beginning of the 2nd trimester). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209469 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 04:56:03 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2209469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really early. I was on progesterone so I'm sure that made it worse. Then a few weeks ago I was put on iron, and good lord......I had to stop taking it. I feel super prepared for labor now.

Magnesium supplements helped enormously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209396 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 22:13:21 +0000 msplatypus 2209396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 weeks, it helped that the only thing I could eat 2 weeks later was watermelon and ketchup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209381 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 21:39:12 +0000 Portboston 2209381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very early and it lasted a while. I started taking a stool softener daily &amp; it's helped a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209378 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 21:33:59 +0000 sapphire 2209378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209362 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 21:04:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2209362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remeber when it started but it hadn't gone away yet and my son is almost 6m :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209360 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 21:01:33 +0000 blackbird 2209360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First symptom. 5 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209346 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:52:17 +0000 FannyMae 2209346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>its at its worst at the moment - nearly 17 weeks. It wasn't too bad in the first trimester, but like with my first pregnancy I think the 2nd is the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209344 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:51:13 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2209344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seemed to start immediately! It was one of my first symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209333 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:38:36 +0000 MamaBehr 2209333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I might not have had it. But I have had it with all my others, including this one. It totally started early (like 6/7 weeks). It is super annoying.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-experienced-constipation-in-pregnancy#post-2209317 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 20:27:32 +0000 lady baltimore 2209317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when did it start? </p>
