As to the constipation, same problem here. My ob/gyn suggested Docusate sodium after daughter's birth, and been taking it regularly ever since. I take 1 a day. Its a stool softener, not a laxative, and taken regularly, obviates the occasional diarrhea. Easily available at drugstores, and inexpensive 'house brands' available.
