This diet is DEFINITELY safe for pregnancy! Start reading up on "soluble fiber" - there's tons of info on this site - and I think you will feel much better once you start increasing this in your diet. Also, I am pretty sure that OTC meds such as Immodium are safe during pregnancy, but check with your doc. Another med you might want to ask about is bentyl, which is an antispasmodic, and totally safe during pregnancy. I take this periodically for gas and gas pain, and one of its side effects is C, so that might help you as well.
Another thought - how much calcium do you get every day, from vitamins, supplements, food, etc.? On the few occasions I get D, I find that taking a calcium supplement really helps. So, consider adding a calcium supplement to your diet, even if you think you're already getting enough.
