Movicol: Can be taken during pregnancy, don't exceed recommended dosage, read the labels carefully, if it doesn't work fir you within a couple of days, hold it and see your doctor. Other routine tactics to avoid constipation: plain fluids, prune juice, increase fruits a vegetables in your diet, wish you a healthy pregnancy and a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby

Fiber & water: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
