Miralax worked wonders for me, my doc said it was safe
Coffee its a natural poop stimulant
Water water water!!! You def need to drink tons of water - my dr advised me long ago your urine should be clear at least once a day. Also grapes, orange juice - def ask your doctor before trying any medications … some increase intestinal contractions which could cause uterine contractions (with you only being 12 weeks that may not be the case) but just check with dr!
Any fruit that starts with a P. Prunes, pineapple ect.
I’ve been on colace and it’s not helping me. I just want to poop lol
A spoon full of olive oil
Metamucil worked for me

Miralax is what my doctor gave me but you do have to read the label and use it correctly. And if you keep getting constipated do fiber there’s a drink that you take every morning and it will help regulate you more naturally.
Eat an apple every morning and every night. I’m not kidding… saving my life this whole pregnancy. I’m 21 weeks

Ask ur doctor for stool softeners
With my first I had to drink a glass of metamucil daily and it helped. If I missed a day it was terrible for me.
Prune juice, ramp up your water and fiber intake, and do a suppository just to get things moving.
Warmed peach juice works
Stool softeners, apple juice on an empty stomach, and lots of water!
Grape juice or prune juice
Pear juice. Just like I did for my son.
2 fiber one bars a day 
Coffee (don’t look at me like that, my doctor said it was fine in moderate)

Frozen Blueberries and honey by Cheerios… works like a charm everyday!
My obgyn told me to try miralax it’s with a pink lid. Goes in glass of water and is over the counter. She said it was safe for baby. I needed it my 1st pregnancy before I had my gallbladder removed. It helped me.
Also, Drink alot more water. And more fiber intake.
Pear juice/prune juice helps too.
My mother told me many years ago when I was pregnant with my first child to take mineral oil. It worked really well.
Stuck my hand up my ass and pulled it out.
Glycerin suppositories
I ate mini wheats with some sort of fruit every morning for breakfast and a lot of water… the fiber helps a lot
I stayed so constipated I had to drink miralax everyday and still use enimas

Cook pears and prunes together. Swish them and freeze. Then scrape out with a spoon and eat with pasteurized yoghurt or custard or ice cream or on its own. Also you can eat them without cooking. Drink prune juice. Lots of water daily. See doctor to get advice on safely getting moving now, then continue to with the other stuff daily. There is a liquid that you may be able to safely take during the pregnancy. Discuss with doc. Best of luck 
You should ask your doctor because I don’t know how these might affect a pregnancy/ unborn baby. … fiber one bars, metamucil fiber cookies, benefiber powder (clear, no grit), stool softener, apple juice (lots), probiotic yogurt. That’s all I can think of right now. A person I know: eat greasy chicken tenders from the Wal-Mart deli.
I took a little of baby laxatives only twice and it worked wonders
Coffee will def clean you out!
Try milk of magnesia. It’s safe for pregnancy and works.

Drink lots of water, maybe a cup of coffee, oatmeal and taking walks
Milk of magnesia. Had to drink it 2 x a day qith my second and could only eat veggies and little meat.
Prune juice worked for me
They say stool softeners only like colace so you dont get dehydrated or hurt baby. Medical wise. Natural remedies like high fiber foods & beans honestly do wonders.
Lots of magnesium and a cappuccino
i ate mini wheats because they have a lot of fiber. did the trick for me lol
I craved apples with my daughter. 2 bags a week. Never was constipated
Ask your doctor first. I am 31 weeks and haven’t went in like 3 weeks. It’s awful. I’ve tried milk if magnesia, dulcolax, enemas. So all those are safe. Try colace stool softeners. Drink LOTS of water, more fruits and veggies. If you are taki ng nausea meds that will constipate you too. Good luck!
Milk of magnesia is what my doc recommended for me currently 14 weeks along
Bran flakes for breakfast. Everyday while pregnant.
100% Apple or grape juice works every time
Believe it or not, I always had good results with chocolate syrup. . 3 tbsp did it for me…
Drink tons of water, eat a lot of fruit, milk of magnesia, Miralax, prune juice.

Probiotics and apple juice worked AMAZINGLY for me.
I always thought a warm bath. It worked for me
Applesauce or salsa …fiber…
Miralax is what I took
I ate apple sauce and strawberries
My doctor recommended a “jam” — it was a combination of prune juice, flax, chia seeds, and applesauce. Taste isn’t awesome but a tablespoon of that and drink ++ water worked great!
Senacot S … if you are taking iron supplements that is probably the cause
Coffee, cranberry juice and prunes always works
Coffee, plums, grapes, spinach…fiber
