Yes: Constipation is very common in pregnancy. Increase your water and fiber intake. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) and benefiber are a safe over-the-counter daily supplement. Both are gentle and dissolve completely in water making them easy to take. Avoiding constipation will make your pregnancy more comfortable and help avoid painful hemorrhoids.
