Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Dried plums or prunes are strongly recommended during pregnancy as an effective natural remedy for constipation. They provide soluble fiber, potassium, and natural sorbitol, which soften stools and stimulate gentle bowel motility. ACOG and the NHS recommend increasing dietary fiber from foods like prunes to manage prenatal bowel regularity. Eat three to four prunes daily alongside plenty of water.
