Awful tummy aches :(

[Tenshineko]

Iv been having really bad tummy aches at night, been trying to eat earlier as iv been having really bad constipation for the last few weeks. Last night i was really scared it was horrible but also was the worst sickness iv had so maybe its got something to do with my sickness and constipation? Is there anything i can take for constipation? Tried eating more fibre but its not working

Jenna I was the same to begin with - I found plums helped loads....... I was eating 4 or 5 a day in the beginning. Also ask at the chemist - you can take a syrup thing that makes it all much softer - Lactulose - I think it was called. I know its boring but water helps too - make sure you drink loads - I hate just water so I got myself some really nice squash and would make sure I drank at least a couple of litres a day.....

If the pain gets bad take a paracetamol - the doctor told me it was OK and I found the pains eased then. They stopped at about 16 weeks for me and then I worried that I didnt have them

Linseed is absolutely brilliant for constipation and totally naturally, you can add it to fruit yogurt or just to water - its tasteless, my midwife recommended it to me, you can get it in tesco or health food shops. Also kiwi's are great.

raisins or grapes help for me. fwiw i think constipation is a good sign, as i had it when i got my bfp, but just before i m/c it- um- cleared out a bit (sorry tmi!) looking back its very likely that due to my drop in them constipation-causing ph hormones
