I agree with Konosmom. I'm almost done (35 weeks) and my C really got bad. I think it was mostly due to the prenatals and the extra calcium. I upped my Benefiber and took 4 Colace a day but last week, I finally switched my Calcium from Carbonate (off-brand OsCal) to Citrate (Citracal) and that made a huge difference! I take the off-brand (Walgreens) Calcium Citrate Plus with Magnesium. (don't forget the plus with magnesium!) I'm amazed at how much a difference it has made.

You can do a search here and read up on what others think but the general thought is that Carbonate is better for D's and Citrate for C's.

I've been on the boards for some time now and never bothered to switch my calcium until now. There's so much information on this board and sometimes you just have to start slow. However, that might be a good place for you to start.

Good luck.
