Hello all you lovely ladies :-)
So as we are all aware, there can be some unpleasant side effects to pregnancy! Constipation is just one of them! With my last pregnancy I really suffered with this, so I searched for home remedies. I already have a diet high in fiber and drink plenty of water. But the 'cure' I want to share with you all is:
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar taken with honey - take this dosage 3 times per day (until things start moving).
This sounds gross and I'm not going to pretend that it is pleasant! But it really DOES work!
If you would rather you can mix it into a glass of water or apple juice or grape juice (but I found taking it with the honey got it over and done with!!)
If you are lucky enough to live in a country that sells the apple cider vinegar with the 'mother' then that is even better. I live in the UK and they don't sell it over here, so I used just the regular apple cider vinegar from the supermarkets.
Hope that helps :-)
PS my title "cure" is obviously more of a "remedy!" It may help some of you and not others and if you have any contraindications I would speak to your doctor before trying any home remedy, but hopefully this will offer relief for some of you :-)

I am definitely making a note of this for future reference! So far so good for me, but I'm sure it's in my future.0

I have also found that the Fiber 80 cereal every morning really helps me be regular...of course with lots of water and exercise. I will keep this in mind if that stops working.0

At my first OB appt, they told me a glass of chilled prune juice followed by a cup of coffee. She said if the effect wasn't near immediate, it'd definitely be that night! :noway:0
