Not that you’re asking for constipation advice, but thought I’d throw my 2 cents in. Get some good probiotics. I had terrible constipation in my 1st pregnancy. This time I’m around, I’m going like a champ.

3 cheers for no spotting! And new bras!
I hope you have a fabulous appointment tomorrow and don’t cry too hard about a shortened day of work at the RoP.

Pruned apricots are good, too.

Almost to the 2nd trimester! How awesome!

You might try Citricel first. It’s worked well for me. Constipation is defintely horrid (and I think mine hit about 11-12 weeks also)! Add lots of fiber to your diet, and Activia seemed to help. And loads of water!

I’m so happy that (other than constipation) things seem to be going well and that you have started to relax a bit. I know I felt a great confidence just getting out of that 1st trimester.

Yes! Belly shots!

Start hitting the colace now before it gets worse. It’s just a softener, not a laxative and it can take a day or two to be effective. I bet you’ll hardly notice.

Woot for 11 and a half weeks!!! Unfortunately, the colace is not that strong…I was taking elephant doses and my poo was still blocks of concrete that took some extra help coming out – I know, I know, way too much information!!!!!

The only thing that helped me was tons and tons of water – tough to do when you are puking, nauseous and having heartburn…

Constipation fix for me at least: activia yogurt (it took about 10 days for me to see a difference but wow it was awesome), and I tried to eat 2-4 prunes throughout the da with large glasses of water. I’m sure you’re already drinking a ton of water so no need to mention that it helps.

Glad to hear you’re at a good place, that you’re not worried about the u/s tomorrow. 12 weeks is almost there- and that is a huge milestone. YAY

Thanks for the reminder about Target. I am in a great deal of discomfort when I wear a bra and my old bras are probably secretly plotting to strangle me in my sleep for what I put them through… I’ve been holding off waiting to see where I finally land boob size wise, but maybe 2 cheap bras from Target might be needed.

Woops, my comment got botched… I meant ot say, “In addition to fiber, milk of magnesia was a fantastic help .”
