My brothers girlfriend is one month and a half pregnant .. She says she is constipated ( she can't shit ) , she keeps peeing and feels like she is giving birth out her ass ( her words ).. She feels a lot of stomach pains as well espeically when she breathes in and feels like puking.. Is there anything that she could take or do for this constipation? I think it's just her shit that she needs to get out... Any sugestions? I told her the hospital, so did my bro she doesnt want to go .. She has not been to a doctor yet either for her pregnancy but is taking materna centrum prenatal pills and that's it. Thank you..

I was really constipated the first tri of my pregnancy, I'm in the 2nd tri and everything is wayyy better! Like I thought I was going to die though. I told my doctor and she said to make sure that you're taking your prenatal pills and eat lots of fiber. She also said there are some prenatal vitamins that come with the constipation stuff. I know you can take Metamucil and Colace (over the counter drug) and it is safe during the 2nd trimester because I have a list my doctor gave me... but ask her doctor before.

You can't take anything while pregnant but tell her to drink lots of water, eat high fiber foods and exercise. If it doesn't help she really needs to go to the doctor.

First trimester you can't take anything for it but can take fiber pills maybe if she likes prune juice lots of water excerise and moving around is good.

 Have her check the prenatals and see if they have iron...iron can make you constipated. I'll second the prune juice or prunes...if she doesn't like they taste she can buy the ones that are cherry,orange or lemon flavored and yes,they really do taste like cherry etc... lots of water and fiber also.

Can she CALL the doctor? Usually their nuses will give advice over the phone and that way she can avoid a trip to the office.
