I am now 15wks with my second child and the first sign I had with both was severe constipation. In my first I found medimucil very helpfull and with this run my dr advised that a drug available over the counter or by prescription "senacot" is totally natural and has no contraindications;. This has helped greatly. I do live in canada so the availability or weather or not the drug is available over the counter or by prescription where you are I dont know. Beware dont smell the bottle it is all herbs and stinks, but it works. Hope this helps of course you'll want to check with your pharmasist or md to make sure this is okay for you Kerri
