Ladies if you're getting bunged up now then chances are you will be after the birth too so go to chemist for glycerine suppositries just in case for after the birth, they should cost around £1.50

I got neo-natal impaction which is why they want you to open your bowels before leaving hossie. I hadnt and they just said if I have problems then the MW would give me a suppositry when I was at home. I had no idea when she was coming and I ended up stuck on the loo and completely hysterical as I couldnt stand up and was in so much pain and LO was crying and I couldnt get to him. OH went the chemist and got these which worked, fortunately as MW didnt turn up for another 4 hours.

Amy, no idea about the watery stuff though, contact your m/w if you're unsure especially if it is liquid just incase it is someting to do with your waters

I would def call M/W especially if he isn't moving, will prob send you for a trace.

I had one done at around 29 weeks, was sooo reassuring as I was getting horrendous cramps.

I feel a lot better today Amy thanks...you get yourself and that little one checked out

A good friend of mine who's a homeopath told me about a natural aid for constipation, which is basically Linseed. You soak 3 tablespoons overnight in water, then the next day eat it either as is, or with food, in one go or at different times. Basically, the oil in natural linseed mixes with the water in the body, to create better consistent, oiled stools

I do hope you all find ways to ease the discomfort, I can sympathize with how uncomfortable constipation etc can be
