I'm ten weeks pregnant and my digestive system has slowed down so much it's simply awful. It takes hours for my food to digest in the mean time leaving me bloated, swolen, and miserable. I can feel my stomach and colon roll. I've been taking maalox in the hopes that it will help, but it's not. What can i do? And what types of things can i eat that will be easy to digest and won't make me sicker? thanks
Answer:you can take a mild stool softener but not a laxative. but i would talk to your ob first because you are really early in your pregnancy. otherwise try applesauce, other fruits, prunes are good, and anything high in fiber or bran.
fruits tend to be a natural laxitive
beans & greens
Take some Colace...its a gentle stool softener that wont hurt the baby.
You can get it at any drug store for a few bucks. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water. YOu need lots
well that is really naste your on your own on that one
go to a doctor and see whats happening to u . thats the best logical answer that i can tell u sorry .
