So let’s talk about a change that I have already noticed. Not glamorous and something that many women won’t choose to discuss… bathroom business.
For the last couple of days I have had some trouble, errr, going to the bathroom. Not peeing, that’s no problem. I would say the last 3 days I’ve been a little, well, a lot, backed up. Of course now that I’m pregnant, I literally google EVERYTHING. I mean everything. According to google, constipation during pregnancy is very normal. Good… I guess. Good that it’s normal, but not good because of the discomfort. Has this happened to many others? If so, please tell me it’s not constant!
I have to be honest, the more I google, the more I find out how much my body is really going to change and react. It’s pretty amazing what the body is capable of, and how one thing can have such a serious affect on one mom, but not on another. I can’t wait to share pregnancy stories as I continue on this journey. Each day is something new, and I know that no matter how much I read and try to prepare myself, this is absolutely NOT textbook. And as a Type-A Teacher, that is really hard for me.
Either way, let’s just hope and pray that everything comes out smooth.

So, for me at least, unfortunately it’s constant. 😥 I have to take something basically every single day to help with the problem. Usually I take magnesium, either the spray (I use pink stork) or the drink (I use natural calm). When I get really bad off, I take a stool softener or milk of magnesia. I haven’t had good luck at all with benefiber or miralax. I hope you find something that helps!
