Can you please tell me it has hit you all too? I seem to go about 3 days then the major stomach pains come for about 3 hours in the night and I find some refief. After about 3 hours of crying etc. Can I take mirilax while pregnant in the first trimester? I cant take it much longer.

I take a chewable fiber supplement daily and it seems to help. If I do not take it I have issues just like you are describing. When I take it, I go daily or every other day.  

I don't take the prenatals.  I take a one a day and extra folate.  I also take a supplement called expecta.  I don't take prenatals for the constipating side effects.  My last pregnancy ended with really bad hemroids and fissures.  I had to have surgery.  I am trying to avoid that again.  I am sure I will need extra iron at some point though.

Yhe best an safest thing for this is a 4oz glass of Prune Juice a day.  I guarantee it will keep you moving!! Causes no pain either - you might not like the taste but sooo worth it.

I take fiber supplements most of the time because of this. I get like this a lot when I am pregnant. But I like the prune juice idea too.

All the 'old people' on the hospital ward when I did my Dietetic practice had it.  Yeah, they went!!

SO tonight was my final night of feeling like crap. I have not gone to the bathroom since last sunday!!! I have tried all the fiber and also colace everyday and nothing... tonight I took a correctol and 2 enemas... not fun! I am in the process right now of having a major stomach ache... tomorrow here comes the prune juice! I CANT TAKE THIS!!!!!
