Constipation!

[Bob]

I'm sorry for bringing this horrible matter up but i'm really worried what effects 'straining' thru constipation will have on the baby.

Does anyone know if this can cause problems? help!

hi!! i have the opposite problem to you but in the early stages of pregnancy i to was constipated. there is nothing to worry about harming the baby but just be carefull as piles or hemarriods could be waiting for you!!! i had them really bad

hmm I was told by a friend who was pregnant that you're not suppose to push, but realistically what choice do you have other than sitting on the loo all day! Would suggest that you eat lots of dried fruit and don't worry to much if you need to push, we all do at some point!!

I get a pain if I try to push too hard. Right under my right rib cage. So I have no choice but to sit on the loo for hours and hope something moves!!!!!

Thanks for all your replies Ladies.

I had such an episode this morning and i got so scared because i had to push so hard - in the end had to resort to suppositories before i had to leave for work. it was that drastic.

I suffer from it normally anyway, but being pregnant alters everything.
