im sorry i have missed you before you went to the doctor..
im glad you are better tho,
it very very common to get constipated in teh 1st trimester..well all teh way through to be honest, especially if you are taking iron tablets..
anyway im trying to combate this by eatting 5 partially dried prunes and 2 figs each day and it seems to be working, i have a warm drink in the morning with these and it seems to be doing the trick. i bought them from tesco in the dried fruit section, i hate taking medication anyway.. so i will avoid it even more so during pregnancy.. especially the 1st few weeks..ive found that fibrigel tastes disgusting and doesnt work anyway..if you can help it dont take any medication while you are pregnant.
