Hello, I’m new here! I’m 28 and my husband and I are TTC. I got pregnant last year and miscarried around 8 weeks. So right now, I’m trying to be on top of taking prenatals for at least 3 months. The problem is I could never get past 1 week without giving up because prenatals give me terrible constipation to the point where bowel movement feels scary..

I took Nature made prenatals with iron/ DHA for 3 days straight and I haven’t pooped for 3 days and on the fourth day it was like pooping bricks. So I started taking miralax, then I took another prenatal from Nature Made and again 2 days (today) I got to poop!! It wasn’t as bad as the first, but getting it out my concerns are

- there are whitish mucus on my 💩
- tinge/slight streak of blood on my 💩 (bright red)
- obviously (greenish poop due to iron)

It’s the tint of red blood that scares me, I do/did have hemorrhoids and I am spiraling. I know I need to see my doctor to make sure everything’s right, but I would love to hear from you guys on your experience with issues on irons on prenatal and if you have any suggestions on what prenatal you’ve tried that doesn’t upset your stomach that would be wonderful.
