Re: what can I take for...TMI
I drank the juice and just chugged the glass quickly. It wasn't good but I drank it so quick that it wasn't bad either.

Re: what can I take for...TMI
my dr told me to take colace or metamucil if the prunes don't work...
the juice just isn't doing it for me... I think I'm going back to stewed prunes...
Also, try to drink A LOT, and eat lots of fruits and veggies....

Re: what can I take for...TMI
I take metamucil every day and so far have not had any problems. I did it pre-pregnancy too. It's really good for you!

Re: what can I take for...TMI
Oh yes dried apricots - they would def help. Also increase your water intake. I think you can take colace - ask your OB.
Sometimes even Oatmeal helps too!

Re: what can I take for...TMI
For my 1st pg, I tried everything- nothing worked.
This time around, I have been taking Collace 150mg a day, everyday! What a difference. I will continue to take it till I have the baby.

Re: what can I take for...TMI
I took colace with my prenatal vitamin for all of my 1st tri and most of my 2nd. Since then though I've discovered the wonders of PEAR JUICE!!! Yes, ladies this works almost better than Prune juice- and fast

Re: what can I take for...TMI
i take two colace very day along with my prenatal and about 8 oz of water, works perfectly for me. I had really bad constipation issues before I started doing that.
