Sorry for TMI topic but.....

Has anyone got any over the counter suggestions for constipation? I’m 11/12 weeks and it’s so bad. I used to be regular but I’m going like 2 times a week these days !!

I’m not sure about over the counter but I know there are things the dr can give you if you see your GP?
My friend who is in her third trimester now suffered with that earlier in her pregnancy and they gave her a couple of things to take that really helped I think

My midwife said lactulose is ok but to not use it too much so really only when you must. She also said to drink plenty water, eat lots of fruit and fiber and that should help. Good luck, it's horrible x

with my first pregnancy I suffered really bad. I was advised to have a drink of prune juice and it worked! the drinks not nice but it worked so it was worth it.

Prune juice is my best friend in pregnancy honestly. And keeping well hydrated. If it doesnt ease soon take yourself to the midwife or doctor for something to help. I had it last time and by about 16 weeks it can get sooo painful I definitely don't wanna go through that again! xx

Agree with prune juice, plenty of fibre and water. You can also have Fybogel x

Not sure I could stomach prune juice! To make matters worse I’m now on iron tablets twice a day ahhhhhhhhh!!!!
