Constipation at 11 weeks

What’s the normal frequency of pooping in pregnancy? I have been popping once every 3-5 days and the tummy hurts in between… colicky ++

I’m experiencing this too! I spoke with my gynae and 3-5 days is an indication it’s constipation, so it’s best to be able to clear every 1-2 days. Increasing fibre and increasing water intake both don’t work for me. Former no effect, and latter too bloated and water taste horrible. I’m trying prune juice and it works. Also consult your gynae cause they can prescribe some stuffs to soften your stool and enable you to pass motion more. I’ll be trying that next.
