During pregnancy, every small complication can lead to expensive doctor visits and tests which can disrupt your monthly budget. Prune juice is generally safe and cheap for constipation, but just verify once with your gynaecologist during your regular monthly scan to avoid any extra hassle later.

Hey, don't stress too much about every little food item! Prune juice is actually a lifesaver for that annoying pregnancy constipation. Just have a small glass and see how it suits you, you are doing great.

I had to be extremely careful with my diet due to PCOS before my pregnancy, so I understand the hesitation. Prune juice can have high natural sugars which might affect your gestational sugar levels. It's best to consult your doc before starting it regularly.

Actually prune juice is pretty safe, yaar. My wife had it when she was expecting because digestion becomes a total mess. Just check with your gynac once during your routine visit to be 100% sure.
