I took papaya (ripe ones, not the unripe or even slightly green ones), and bananas, and it helped alot. I'm in my 3rd trimester now and still having constipation, but papayas and bananas are really what works best for me. Maybe it can help you too!
Please don't use force. It's not very good. I have constipation isssue too & I force myself to drink lots of plain water. You can ask your gynae for duphalac syrup (can buy from watson/guardian also). It make our stools softer.
Unlikely. U need to drink plenty of water and increase ur fibre intake as well. If u r still having constipation, u may get stool softener med from ur gynae.
