If nature isn't calling

[Mama 2 Be]

I spoke to my MW and told her the constipation problem (since week 5) and she suggested LOTS and LOTS of fresh fruit juice. So on Saturday I purchased shares in Tropicana and et voila! I found the Ruby breakfast one helped the best (Sorry TMI)

So in short those of you who are trying to kill yourselves with fibre overload try juice - what have you got to loose apart from the obvious?!?!?

Also, it adds to your five aday!

From a much lighter Mama 2 Be! who doesn't look 8 months PG anymore!

so pleased you found something that works, i have been drinking lots of juice and was still suffering, then yesterday i bought some prune juice, drank it at dinner time and it worked this morning, i have a very slow digestive system

 

[pacha]

I will try ANYTHING!! My Doc told me to eat prunes and apricots, I have been eating them all week and still nothing. I also drink gallons of water and have cereal for breakfast..I have been once in two weeks!!! I have never had a problem like this before, I am so bloated and the bottom of my back is so sore

I've been suffering so cheers hon

I've tried juice and dates which I really like so that's a bonus. Not shifted it yet though

I tried everything........and was addicted to fruit juice earlier on in my pregnancy, I was walking 2-3 miles a day with my dog until 2 weeks ago, I eat weetabix religiously for breakfast, and was eating fruit daily - I was still constipated and spent a week in tears before I finally gave in and saw the doctor.

She put me onto lactulose which is a natural sugar solution, and within 48 hours I was "going" again, much to mine and my bodies relief. Now I only use it when I need to, as dont want to be become dependant on it, but if anyone is really suffering and tried everything else I recommend you speak to your doctor!

Wow

How are you feeling?

I know and he sure feels like he weighs a lot, and wriggles around constantly!!!

Im feeling ok thanks hun, although my body feels like it belongs to someone much older these days, and aches everytime I move, but all in all still pretty well.

Hope you are enjoying your pregnancy, and that the sickness isnt too bad
Enjoy every minute it goes so quickly!!

It sounds weird but I want it to go quickly, I'm desperate to be past 12 weeks and telling everybody, buying stuff etc. I feel in limbo at the moment - like there's no way I can be pregnant I look the same. I keep doing tests, must have done about 20 so far which is ridiculous but I keep on doing them!

 

[maldives]

I'm desperate so I'll try fruit juice! although I am sure it won't work. My Dr actually recommended eating an orange instead of it's juice but it makes me feel

I'm trying to tell nature to piss off at the minute
