Constipation: If you don't eat, you won't poop. When you eat, a reflex kicks in to move your intestines along. Unless instructed by ob, take it easy on the laxatives. Keep up with fiber and softeners and drink lots of water. It is common to lose your appetite late in pregnancy as your stomach gets compressed by your uterus.
