Treat it: Constipation, while normal in pregnancy, can cause pain, and potentially hemorrhoids down the line if left untreated. My recommendation is once daily miralax (polyethylene glycol). It's not absorbed by the body and won't harm the baby. You can mix it with any liquid and it won't change the texture of taste of drink. It's over the counter. You should also drink so your urine is clear. If it's yellow... Drink more!
