    I was constipated my whole pregnancy. It’s just a symptom of being pregnant. Totally normal 🙂

    Definitely agree with everyone else, it's a very normal pregnancy side effect. There's lots of safe natural remedies though, sometimes you just need to eat more fibre and drink more water but if that doesn't work then I recommend a little bit of prune juice daily.

    I also recommend having some lactulose ready for when you give birth. If I ever have another I'll start taking that from the second I give birth.
