:oops: I am really suffering with constipation - I dont think it helped that I had been on the Cambridge Diet before I found out I was pregnant so my bowel habbits had changed somewhat due to the lack of fibre in my diet....... I am taking lactulose and drinking loads of fruit juice but its still not shifting it properly :( I have terrible wind too - Lucky DH!!

Has anyone got any advice on what to try next - I am so bloated tonight I look about 7 months pregnant :(
 
Don't really have any advice hun but just wanted to say you are not alone! I'm ALWAYS constipated, have been since the beginning, only go maybe once a week and it doesn't matter how much fruit and veg I eat, or how much juice I drink I just cannot go! As long as it isn't painful then I wouldn't worry too much but maybe mention it to your MW :hug:
 
Hi ROM

My friend swears by Prune Juice. She says you only need to drink a couple of inches of it and it will do the trick :D She hates the taste so washes it down with a chunk of chocolate :lol:
 
try drinking plenty of water, that will maybe help ! and fibre as well !
 
plenty of fludis, fruit and fibre cereal and orange juice does the trick for me.
 
plenty of water weetabix and fruit i think most people suffer with this in early pregnancy hun but it should pass in a few weeks :hug: xxxxxxx
 
Prune juice and go for a walk. That will get things moving :lol:
 
I was going to post about this on saturday as I was having the same problem, but found that a big 2 course meal yesterday got me going. I presume I was so full (sorry tmi) that my body had no choice.
 
ohhh...linseed works well! If you have toast in the morning, swap your normal bread for soya & linseed bread (mine is made by Burgen). It tastes yummy and is really good for you.

PS...I dont suggest trying everyone's suggestions at once! :rotfl:
 
try Senokot and, oh bugger forgot the name of the cream i use!!!

i use it whenever i get it, and sometimes it gets REALLLLL bad!!

hasnt been bad lately but come back today grrr :(
