Constipation @ 9wks

Any remedies to treat constipation? I've tried Fybrogel, prune juice, bananas but seems to get worse by the day, now at wk9 preg only :(

Don't take banana, I visited my GP (before pregnancy) due to bad constipation and he ask me to stop eating banana as it will make constipation worst. During my pregnancy, try to eat more veggies and low GI bread (high in fibre). My hack for constipation is eating 1 kiwi everyday, I eat those yellow kiwis as it is much sweeter than the green ones.

I had it too and exactly at week 9! I took probiotics (I take Optibac) and prunes (the fruit itself). And try getting as much water as possible as dehydration could make your constipation worse.... I noticed when I drank at least 2l a day, it keeps my bowels happy ^^

Try taking probiotics which works for me. Every morning I’m able to pass motion without failed. Currently I’m in week 17.

Yellow dragonfruit. Don’t eat the whole thing maybe just one quarter or half. Super effective

I took red dragon fruit. effective for me. so I need to take it every day.

Drink more water, you can try yakult too! And dragonfruit! It helps alot

Yoghurt helps me, you can try (:
