If C is a problem while pregnant, try over the counter stool softeners. You can get them at any drug store by the laxatives, although they aren't a laxative, they just soften the stool and help you to go. I am C predominant as well and although I've lost all my babies by 12.5 weeks, I still got even more C while pregnant. I use a prescription called Miralax, which is an osmotic laxative which is safe for pregnancy but you do need a prescription from your dr. I would try drinking more water, I'm talking a huge glass every hour kind of thing, yes, you'll have to pee more too but the extra water will help the C and its good for baby. Try adding in the stool softener twice a day, morning and night and see if that doesn't help as well. You may also want to increase your SFS, I use Acacia and I've also used fibercon! Also, be sure to get some sort of exercise. I know I was super sick with morning sickness but I know on the days I was at least able to take a short walk or was active around the house, it also helped with the C!
