Going to the loo. #2's

[ss79]

Sorry if this tmi but for about the last fortnight I just haven't been doing no 2's very often. I'm eating loads and trying to eat fibre especially but only doing a no 2 about once every 3 days, or less. I'm not even constipated, I just don't need to go. Peeing is normal though. Getting a bit worried as worry I won't go for 2 days then I'll really need to go when I'm out somewhere or on the bus. Anyone else had this?

forgot to mention I am 12 weeks pregnant.

I had it terribly in Tri 1! Apparently your digestive system slows down so baby can absorb more nutrients - seemed to pass for me by about half way through Tri 2.

It does go away - I had it too, was terribly constipated.

Even now, I will suddenly think, when was the last time I went...............

Keep up the good eating and drinking LOTS of water. I believe you can be given something by the doc.

I'm having the exact same problem, I'd read somewhere its normal so wasn't too worried but if it gets uncomfortable I was going to mention to my midwife at my 16 wk apt next week.

I have had this for weeks now, I feel so uncomfortable. The only thing that has worked for me is Lactulose.. Hope this helps
