Jess to help with your tummy - 1) split up your meals - instead of 3-4 regular meals, try 5-6 smaller meals. The smaller your food intake the less difficult it is and less time your body needs to take to digest and move things through. 2) Increase if not double your water intake daily - the more hydration, the more "lubrication" your body has. 3) Fresh fruits & vegetables that are high in fiber & fruits with plenty of moisture/juice in them (again the more hydration or water intake) may help. (raspberries, apples, bananas, figs, and strawberries or beans, peas, lentils, bran cereals, prunes, and whole-grain bread) Hope this helps! All of these are natural healthy ideas whether pregnant or not to help your tummy.
Micah is growing so much and is just precious! Regarding your problem besides prune juice, apple juice as well as orange juice is good for relieving constipation. Plus, orange juice and prune juice mixed together is quite tasty. Together, you can get relief from the prune juice plus vitamins from the orange juice.
Clear glasses for both... Natural lax effect: 1 tbs unrefined Coconut oil per day, it can be mixed into hot things like oatmeal or "buttered" onto toast w/a drizzle of agave nectar... Or any other way you might like.
When I was pregnant I started to eat dried cranberries and almonds together like a trail mix, then also eating prunes that come in the little packages I would eat two with each meal. That helped me a lot. Then if that didn’t work I would drink orange juice with the orange powdered flavored fiber mix. Hope that helps
Austin: Definitely the clear grey blue pair. Jess: I like the black one but narrow and also love the clear on you. Also Jess on the constipation, try leaving off wheat for a few days and see if the bloating eases. Wheat and gluten can both cause major bloating. (Hoping you're not gluten sensitive.)
For Austin frame #1 looks awesome, vintage and stylish. And #2 is awesome as well. For Jess the sunglasses with the gold bridge, but indeed smaller fit. 😎
Constipation is the worrrst, and prune juice doesn’t even work for me. I have no idea if it’s safe to use during pregnancy but the only thing that works for me is taking a daily digestion probiotic. It helps with gas and bloating and all that other fun stuff too :) Really soft boiled broccoli every day works wonders to keep you regular
Austin: Definitely #2, the smoky grey ones! Jess: #2 and #4 ♡ Micah: Cute in everything ❤😆 Also, hope you're feeling better, Jess. I've always had those kind of problems too (basically my whole life lol) and one thing that's always helped since I was just a little girl, and that my doctor recommended, is Meta Mucil fiber thin cookies with a glass of water. Eating those every now and then really seems to help me.
Jess my mum had your problem until she started putting psyllium husk on her cereal,it worked. Austin I liked the smokey frames on you and Jess the last glasses are really nice on you. Micah is such a sweetie.💖💖💖💖💖💖
I work with the elderly in the community and this is a very common problem our District Nurses ALWAYS recommend pears either fresh or tinned and believe me it definitely works
Jess you should try a ginger tea it helped a lot on my pregnancy. But not hot just boil a piece of ginger and you could add some sugar and drink it. It relaxes your body
TMI!!! When I was pregnant with my son I was maybe 35 weeks and I was constipated for 12 DAYS!!! Nothing helped me I tried literally everything so I went to the hospital and they gave me a suppository and enema. And that worked (funny part of the story also more TMI) my stomach was huge when I was pregnant so I had to waddle all the way to the bathroom across the hall!!! Well as soon as I got in there and moved my gown, it went everywhere all over the walls everything. So I felt relieved but in-between me using the bathroom I literally cleaned the bathroom 😅 don’t be like me don’t poop on the wall!🤣 if prune juice don’t work get some suppositories and enema’s! They do work wonders! 😅
Hi Jess I work in Health care.. when that problem arises we serve 6 to 8 oz of WARM Prune juice. Followed by a glass of water every hour or so. We try to stay away from chemical laxative because people become laxative dependent ... Eat spinach, coleslaw, nuts, drink coffee, chocolate and one of our favorite in the business is a McDonald's chocolate milkshake... Stay away from bananas ,cheese... Good luck sweetie feel better... Love you guys !
I had bad constipation during pregnancy as well. My Dr suggested coconut oil (1 teaspoon first night, 2 teaspoons the second night and keep working up till you're at 2 tbsp.) The coconut oil, Epsom salt baths, and coconut water made it so much better. I actually started going regularly for the rest of my pregnancy☝️😉🙌
Austin: Glasses 1 and 3 with 2 in a close second. But they all looked really good. Jess: Austin's pick...if they come in narrow--those are really cute! Loved the regular glasses too... Pregnancy Constipation is NO Joke! I dealt with this my ENTIRE second pregnancy. Dulcolace (sp?) stool softeners were key when the juice or natural methods wouldn't work. I do know my doc kept saying it was because I wasn't drinking enough---that's a whole other story with severe (hospitalized most of the pregnancy) hyperemesis gravidum/gravidarum-- but sometimes chugging (yes--chug) 6-20 oz of water first thing in the morning. Not the greatest if you deal with morning sickness. But at some point in the day--try this. Might work. If nothing else--you get some of your water in take really quickly. LOL
For Austin, the smokey pair. But he apparently looks good in all glasses lol. And the regular glasses and cat eye sunglasses for Jess. I kinda want those for myself!
Too much iron caused my constipation. So i only took my prenatal once every few days even though the dr wanted me to take everyday. Totally worked! Hope you feel better soon.
Hey Jess! You may have already tried this or maybe not, but try increasing your fiber intake as well as water intake and if in a day or two you're still having trouble going to the bathroom then maybe set up an appointment with your primary care doctor! 🙂
Glad I’m not the only one that has this symptom right now! Six months in and it’s killing me 😂. My doctor said a full glass of prune juice goes a long way. I also have been trying oatmeal and lots of dried fruits. Good luck! Love your channel! 💕
Glycerine suppositories combined with a mild laxative. By using both you are attacking it from both ends, softening everything to make it easier for you. I suffer with constipation all the time because of meds’ I take, and hitting it both ways is the only thing that works for me. Good luck Jess, I feel for you because it is so uncomfortable xx
Test with a little olive oil in a glass of juice. I usually take 15 milliliters in a half glass of juice. Drink some water after drinking the mixture. It has helped me a lot with my pregnancy. Hope it can help you.
Hi Jess. This worked on my host Child when I was an si pair. First thing in the morning drink a hot cup of water before you, after a couple of days, you will be going regularly again. You can also help it a long with a tablespoon of clear neutral oil. I have borrowed these techniques myself when I have problems. Have a nice day 🙂 P.s. sorry my english is a little rusty I do hope it can help you.
For your tummy troubles, stone fruits are amazing. Any fruit starting with p is a poop fruit. Ones to avoid are apples and bananas as those can irritate the bowels further. You could also ask you doctor about a Yogi tea called smooth move. I dont know if its safe during pregnancy or not. I will tell you, be home for the day after you do the tea. It can have a bit of a powerful affect. You could also ask your doc about taking Mothers Bliss med for constiapation. Its actually for babies and kids, but it works well. It usually works within an hour. Hang in there, i fought with that all the time during my pregnancy. It's miserable.
Two tablespoons of mineral oil in the morning and two at night. It's terrible to try to get down I know but it does work. And is completely safe for you and your precious cargo! That's a long time and don't want to be doing any harm trying to strain!
I use miralax powder and fiber powder for a couple of days along with eating grapes (I don’t get it, but grapes help me go). When none of that is working after a few days I take one or two dulcolax and that usually does the trick. I’m not pregnant, but my digestive system doesn’t work properly so I deal with constipation a lot. It’s miserable and I hope yours gets better soon, Jess!
Austin:Number 2 Jess- number 2 also I enjoy them and you guys such a cute couple and I been following since Austin and cams channel and started watching your journey of the first pregnancy ❤️❤️
Jess you could take 1 stool softener a day for that extra help. I went through this with my 2nd pregnancy. It was so miserable for me. Congratulations on the pregnancy. I cant wait to find out what your having. You and Austin are awesome parents.
Jess, I’m 30 weeks pregnant right now and the constipation has been so real my entire pregnancy! I am most excited for my first normal poo after my son is born lol sorry I know TMI but I’m just being honest. Everyone kept telling me to eat more fiber but it didn’t work for me. I even tried those nasty cardboard fiber bars and still nothing. Hope you find relief!
My daughter suffered with really bad conscription when she was younger and the only thing that worked was pure pear juice. You could also try decaf since coffee is a natural laxative
Aww Jess, I feel for you. My problem is alternating between the two extremes. But natural things that have worked for me in the past are, eat lots of oranges, and I do mean lots! Well, if you can get large Navel oranges, if you can eat 4-6 of them. Also pears seem to do the trick for me. Also plums, plums are so high in fibre. I have had about 5 plums at night time and then I am running for the toilet in the morning. I know fruit is high in sugar, but it’s worth it to get back to normal, naturally, IMO. 😘
I dont know if you have tried it, but Lactulose is very good and its safe to use while you are pregnant (although they advise not to use it after pregnancy if you are breast feeding and cant be used if you are diabetic). Anna Saccone Joly (from the Saccone Joly's) had that problem during and after pregnancy and she said it made her miserable, but she found that a hot cup of Lemon & Ginger helped her.
Jess!! Have some papaya and drink some warm water afterwards. Also have lots of citrus fruits, works wonders when my kids have tummy troubles... and mango helps too! Good luck 👍🏼 ☺️
I was on heavy pain killers after a car accident and had the same problem. My doctor suggested senokot. You can buy at drug store. It's a natural laxative. Check with family doctor or pharmacist but this should work. If dose says 2 I would start with 3 until you have cleaned out your system and then take daily as recommended. Don't stop and start because it will make you go thru the painful, uncomfortable, bloat, hard stomach phase all over again. Will take a bit of time to work. Not as quick as exlax but will work. Trust me. Good Luck!
I've used plexus with my pregnancies. The bio cleanse and probiotic really helped me through this stage and kept everything regular durring and after pregnancy.
Ugh I can totally relate to the constipation issue. I had it terrible with my son and now with my daughter (15 weeks along). I take colace twice a day and drink tons of water but it doesn't help much. I go a week without "going" too so I feel your pain. I think I might try the prune juice too. Hope it helps us both!🙂
Best thing that works instantly is a Fleet Enema. During my 3 pregnancies I had a stock pile of enemas and was extremely grateful for them. Just a suggestion if you haven't already tried them. Good Luck.
I think Austin’s glasses look so great on you Jess(and also your regular glasses, the color is so cute!) also for Austin, I like the partially clear ones and also number 5.
I have never been pregnant so cannot say from personal experience, but several of my friends/colleagues swore by a medicine that is called Califig here in UK. It is a syrup made from dried figs, I don't know if you have anything similar in the US? Another thing that a lot of people forget is to drink PLENTY of water to help soften the stool. Hope that helps.
Luckily I haven't dealt with constipation too bad, mostly because my nausea is so bad I can barely eat. The worst part for me is either nausea or right now the cramping! I was wondering what your experience with cramps with Micah were and if anything helped! (Other Mama's obviously welcome to help out!) 💕
Drink lots of water, fresh squeesed orange juice every morning and a kiwi. Also eat lots of green vegetables. And (you already do) some light excercises, walking with your little girl etc.... good luck, i really hope it helps...
Have you tried cutting back a little on fiber, until you get regular? Also, there's a probiotic drink called Good Belly (I get the 4 pack, by the yogurt probiotic section) that taste really good, no dairy, 3g sugar, by the 2nd to 3rd day it helped regulate things. Also upping the water intake, but obviously do what's safe for you. I hope you find relief soon.
Have you tried magnesium? I drink Natural Calm (powdered magnesium and flavoring) once a day it helps keep things going. We have that same towel for our daughter and it's our favorite. We taught her to make elephant sound and throw her arm up like a trunk, it's the cutest thing!
now i am in canada so not sure this is available to you, but it was suggested to me to try P.E.G., Polyethylene glycol 3350., its a liquid you drink to help bring more water to your system, check with doctor if ok to use while pregnant, this is also used for patients having a colonoscopy to help clear them out for the procedure.
Try drinking lots of orange juice and eating a lot of grapes also some sugar free sweets have something in them that makes you poop if you eat too many so you could maybe try them.
I had the same issue with my first pregnancy. It all came down to my last choice, prune juice. I bought a bottle, set it in the fridge and never had to drink it. I think the thoughts of having to indulge scared the crap out of me. 😂😂😂
I ate prunes and fiber one bars. They were both delicious. I bought the lemon and cinnamon-something bread fiber one snacks. The bars and prunes helped me big time! Wish you the best.
The only thing that worked for me when I was pregnant was lots of grapes, raspberries and blueberries and veggies like spinach, broccoli and onions. They all seemed to help when I had them in high quantities. I couldn't take folic acid tablets either as they gave me stupidly horrid stomach cramps, which meant i could only get folic acid in it's natural form in foods and I found those foods also helped. 🤷 Hope you get yourself sorted. Constipation is horrid. I also went over a week and my god I feel for you right now.
Jess to help with your tummy - 1) split up your meals - instead of 3-4 regular meals, try 5-6 smaller meals. The smaller your food intake the less difficult it is and less time your body needs to take to digest and move things through. 2) Increase if not double your water intake daily - the more hydration, the more "lubrication" your body has. 3) Fresh fruits & vegetables that are high in fiber & fruits with plenty of moisture/juice in them (again the more hydration or water intake) may help.

Is she being boo from monsters inc
Hey Jess! You may have already tried this or maybe not, but try increasing your fiber intake as well as water intake and if in a day or two you're still having trouble going to the bathroom then maybe set up an appointment with your primary care doctor! 🙂
Clear ones are my favorite for Austin

Austin the grey pair is the best!
Austin: frame #3
Jess: frame with the gold on top
Pickles are natural laxitives. As are cucumbers. Helped me a ton!
Test with a little olive oil in a glass of juice. I usually take 15 milliliters in a half glass of juice. Drink some water after drinking the mixture. It has helped me a lot with my pregnancy. Hope it can help you.

P.s. sorry my english is a little rusty I do hope it can help you.
OMG my heart just melted when you started playing in the leaves with Micah xxx
Fiber supplement is the best! I just add one or two tea spoons in my morning smoothie and it changed my life.
For your tummy troubles, stone fruits are amazing. Any fruit starting with p is a poop fruit. Ones to avoid are apples and bananas as those can irritate the bowels further. You could also ask you doctor about a Yogi tea called smooth move. I dont know if its safe during pregnancy or not. I will tell you, be home for the day after you do the tea.

Don’t for get your fiber and protein has to be fairly even to help with #2
Jess 2 and 4 look awesome!
Austin 2 and 3 looked good!
I like all of the glasses Austin tried on and #4 for Jess.
Tip if you warm the prune juice up it will really get things moving
Orange juice every day with your vitamins or you can mix orange and apple juice together to take with your vitamins will keep you regular
Two tablespoons of mineral oil in the morning and two at night. It's terrible to try to get down I know but it does work. And is completely safe for you and your precious cargo! That's a long time and don't want to be doing any harm trying to strain!
Austin: those clear/grey ones

Frame 2 look really nice on Austin
I like the 3rd pair the best for Austin
Austin looks good in all the glasses and Jess looks good in the second pair of glasses
Austin:Number 2
Jess- number 2 also I enjoy them and you guys such a cute couple and I been following since Austin and cams channel and started watching your journey of the first pregnancy ❤️❤️
Jess you could take 1 stool softener a day for that extra help. I went through this with my 2nd pregnancy. It was so miserable for me. Congratulations on the pregnancy. I cant wait to find out what your having. You and Austin are awesome parents.
Cat eye ones for Jess and clear option for Austin
Jess, I’m 30 weeks pregnant right now and the constipation has been so real my entire pregnancy! I am most excited for my first normal poo after my son is born lol sorry I know TMI but I’m just being honest. Everyone kept telling me to eat more fiber but it didn’t work for me.

Loving elephant sounds smiles
My daughter suffered with really bad conscription when she was younger and the only thing that worked was pure pear juice.
You could also try decaf since coffee is a natural laxative
Jess, the black and gold look nice!
Aww Jess, I feel for you. My problem is alternating between the two extremes. But natural things that have worked for me in the past are, eat lots of oranges, and I do mean lots!

Oh my gosh is Micah going to be Boo from Monsters Inc.?? She'll be so cute!!
I was wondering the same thing!!
1 2 or 3. All look nice!!
Have you tried a fermented, non-pasteurized sauerkraut? Good natural probiotic and it helps keep you regular.
Jess!! Have some papaya and drink some warm water afterwards. Also have lots of citrus fruits, works wonders when my kids have tummy troubles... and mango helps too! Good luck 👍🏼 ☺️
I was on heavy pain killers after a car accident and had the same problem. My doctor suggested senokot. You can buy at drug store. It's a natural laxative. Check with family doctor or pharmacist but this should work. If dose says 2 I would start with 3 until you have cleaned out your system and then take daily as recommended. Don't stop and start because it will make you go thru the painful, uncomfortable, bloat, hard stomach phase all over again. Will take a bit of time to work. Not as quick as exlax but will work. Trust me. Good Luck!
I've used plexus with my pregnancies. The bio cleanse and probiotic really helped me through this stage and kept everything regular durring and after pregnancy.
For Austin I like the smoky for Jess the last pair in the narrow pair
Austin looks good in all the glasses. But clear smokey is my fave. Jess, the plain black, although wide, look nice, and the cat ones :)
I'm pretty sure that I know what the costumes are but I'm not going to ruin it! So cute!
Ugh I can totally relate to the constipation issue. I had it terrible with my son and now with my daughter (15 weeks along). I take colace twice a day and drink tons of water but it doesn't help much. I go a week without "going" too so I feel your pain. I think I might try the prune juice too. Hope it helps us both!🙂
chapped lips and the not going hydrate hydrate hydrate also will help with heart palpitations and add banana for the magnesium for the heart palps
Best thing that works instantly is a Fleet Enema. During my 3 pregnancies I had a stock pile of enemas and was extremely grateful for them. Just a suggestion if you haven't already tried them. Good Luck.
I think Austin’s glasses look so great on you Jess(and also your regular glasses, the color is so cute!) also for Austin, I like the partially clear ones and also number 5.
I have never been pregnant so cannot say from personal experience, but several of my friends/colleagues swore by a medicine that is called Califig here in UK. It is a syrup made from dried figs, I don't know if you have anything similar in the US?
Another thing that a lot of people forget is to drink PLENTY of water to help soften the stool. Hope that helps.
Frame 2 for Austin!
Austin pair 2 n 3 Jess the last pair n the pink peach glasses
My picks for Jess 2 and the cat eye with gold detail ones. 😊
Luckily I haven't dealt with constipation too bad, mostly because my nausea is so bad I can barely eat. The worst part for me is either nausea or right now the cramping! I was wondering what your experience with cramps with Micah were and if anything helped! (Other Mama's obviously welcome to help out!) 💕
Drink lots of water, fresh squeesed orange juice every morning and a kiwi. Also eat lots of green vegetables. And (you already do) some light excercises, walking with your little girl etc.... good luck, i really hope it helps...
Have you tried cutting back a little on fiber, until you get regular? Also, there's a probiotic drink called Good Belly (I get the 4 pack, by the yogurt probiotic section) that taste really good, no dairy, 3g sugar, by the 2nd to 3rd day it helped regulate things. Also upping the water intake, but obviously do what's safe for you. I hope you find relief soon.
Have you tried magnesium? I drink Natural Calm (powdered magnesium and flavoring) once a day it helps keep things going.
We have that same towel for our daughter and it's our favorite. We taught her to make elephant sound and throw her arm up like a trunk, it's the cutest thing!
if you are a smoothie drinker, add a 1/4 cup of bran buds to the mix. As well, lots of nuts (especially brazil nuts)
Oh I LOVE my clear frames! They are AWESOME!
now i am in canada so not sure this is available to you, but it was suggested to me to try P.E.G., Polyethylene glycol 3350., its a liquid you drink to help bring more water to your system, check with doctor if ok to use while pregnant, this is also used for patients having a colonoscopy to help clear them out for the procedure.
Beautiful Family ❤️
This makes me so excited to be a mom too. 😍😍😍
Austin 2 or 3, Jess defo the cat eye with the gold detail xx
Try drinking lots of orange juice and eating a lot of grapes also some sugar free sweets have something in them that makes you poop if you eat too many so you could maybe try them.
