Constipation again?

One of the thing I hated most throughout the entire pregnancy... Constipation!!!

I think I should start stocking up some prune juice in my fridge...

I didn't know that eight ounces of Sunsweet Prune Juice provides 15 percent of the daily recommended allowance for potassium, and is low in fat, sodium and cholesterol.

Fluids are important. Pregnant women need fluids to carry nutrients through the body and to wash away waste products. Nursing mothers also need fluids to aid in producing milk. Water and milk are the primary liquids, and juices, especially nutritious juices, are important fluids, too. Nutrient-rich prune juice is all natural–there's nothing artificial and no added sugar.

Iron is important to enrich a mother's blood supply. Your baby must store extra iron for the first four to six months when her/his diet consists of breast milk, which has little iron. Eight ounces of prune juice is considered a good source of iron and potassium.

Constipation is common during pregnancy. After pregnancy, a woman whohas had an episiotomy may be fearful of a bowel movement because of her stitches. Many women find that prune juice prevents constipation, which may also prevent formation of painful hemorrhoids.
