I'm almost 14 weeks and really badly constipated anyone else??? I'm wondering if it's the folic acid maybe?? Nothing seems to help 😞 Sorry if it's a tmi post!
I'm 30 weeks now and have suffered from constipation throughout. I was never very good before so I don't think that helps! I was taking 30ml of lactulose a day - 15ml am and 15ml pm with a big glass of water. It helps draw more water into the bowel to soften everything up so isn't an immediate cure. Now I just take 15ml a day as a maintenance dose to keep things moving and it has made a massive difference!
My midwife also suggested glycerol suppositories if it gets to crisis point!
