I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and i always feel like i have to poop it's really hurting my stomach, i can't sleep or anything! what can i take to help?

GI prob in pregnancy: Magnesium 600mg at night can help with the constipation. In addition it will help you sleep better, help you absorb calcium better ( for breastfeeding later :) and can help minimize hormonal stress from the pregnancy. Magnesium is a win-win. Try it.
