Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi all,
i am currently taking prenatal since we will be trying soon. but i am feeling severly constipated due to prenatal. maybe because of high iron. the constipation is so severe that it takes me 10-15 mins and i also see some blood. i feel pain and just dread going to the toilet.
any advice/tips if any of you have felt the same? i can't stop the prenatal.
please help me. abc replied. thanks all of you all. i will try to eat apple everyday.
actually i was having hemorrhides abt 10 days before starting prenatal. then it stopped for sometime(abt 3 weeks). now i am having it again. and i heard from one of my frnds that she had constipation when she was having prenatal. so i thought maybe its due to prenatal.
what to do for hemorrhides? def replied. just eat an apple everyday and everything will be alright .it helped me too.i was in the same boat but apple worked its wonders. archie replied. Dear ABC,
if I understand correct then you are not yet ttc neither you are pregnant. This may allow me to say that discontinue with your prenatal pill. If you want eat Folic Acid or have your Gyenec intervened.
You seem to have got hemorrhides and can get worse. Don't worry as this is not going to harm you if you want to ttc in this cycle. Also this condition can get worse in pregnancy so it's better to ward off such conditions prior to pregnancy.
Archie Priya replied. Which week are you in. Constipation is common in pregnancy. I suggest you tell your Dr about this. Try and drink water with a slice of lemon this will help constipation if not then prune juice usualyy works. Try not to force yourself too much.
Priyaxx Lakshmi replied. If you visit a doctor, they usually will give you 2 or 3 samples to try. If you are living in the US, try Fem Prenatal . I heard lot of good things about this Prenatal . But, only thing is you will not get it in the stores. Your doctor should order it for you.
