I had it really bad until I was 24 weeks and when I finally went I bleeded and it hurt really bad, I only thought about the day i have to give birth it was going to be worst! try using a fiber supplement, such as oat bran, Metamucil, Konsyl or Citrucel. These natural supplements help make stools softer and are safe to use every day. Be sure to drink plenty of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, fiber supplements can actually make your constipation worse. And add fiber to your diet slowly to avoid problems with gas. it's a good idea to check with your doctor before using any laxatives other than fiber supplements. Try eating lots of high-fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It's a good idea to check the content of prepared foods because not all foods claiming to be high in fiber actually are. Drink plenty of fluids and get as much exercise as you can. Swimming and walking are good choices.

drink a lot more water. I know that sounds stupidly simple, but it worked for me. Add more fiber to your diet. I suspect that the OTC fiber preparations are safe for a pregnant woman. Ask your doctor about something called Miralax.

I would consult a doctor or pharmacist on this one.
