I'm using prenate elite. I was pretty constipated for the first week, but then I guess my body adjusted. Now I go 3 or 4 times a day Chat Icon

I had the same issue no matter what brand I used (got free samples from OB office)

My solution = first thing in the morning, drink a small juice glass of cold prune juice on an empty stomach. I know it doesn't taste great, but it worked like a charm.

Once I hit about 24 weeks, for whatever reason, I don't need it anymore. Good luck!!

Re: Prenatal vitamins

I drink so much water that I feel like I'm floating most of the time.
Thanks everyone for sharing and the helpful advice!

Re: Prenatal vitamins

citracal, but if you dont drink enough water, you can get constipated.

my gf takes these chewable ones and she said it actually makes her go everyday, I think I may change to hers.
