Answers:
Lots of water ....fruit juices in moderation ....fiber ....Activia yogurt is great! Try to avoid eating alot of cheese and other constipating foods. If it's seriously bound up magnesium citrate will clear you out!! Make sure you check with your dr or pharmacist first since you're pregnant... it isnt stimulating.. my dr had me take it when I was pregnant... ask first though. Once you do get 'going' you might wanna ask about taking a stool softner to keep it 'going' ...usually safe while pregnant. Up your fluids and fiber too!!Health Question & Answer
