Sit on loo - right back with knees elevated on something as tall as 2 shoe boxes- it positions the bowel so its more open- and relax- straining is a big no no

Lots of fibre, bran flakes are ideal
Lots of liquids to help flush through

Failing that go to pharmacy and ask for something pregnancy safe to help - usually a powder you dilute with water

Thursday? That seems an awful long time I'd speak to a pharmacist and get some fibre in your diet. Do you eat much fruit and veg? X

Awe constipation
I had to get early scans cause my pain was so bad.
Doc gave me lactoluce but to b honest it made me worse,
I got really bad wind, hunger pains an the cramps get worse.
I stopped it an uped my daily water, fruit, fruit juice an fibre intake,
An within two days the cramps were gone an I could use the toilet.
I also used a hot water bottle on my midwifes advice, it helps with the cramps x
Hope u feel better soon xx

I'd say pretty much what everyone else says... my fibre intake has gone up drastically to cope with it!

incidentally.. i received a well being at work letter today at work.. it said how if you are dehydrated that you can become very constipated. so my water intake has also now increased!

you can defo get lactulose if it's really bad though.

horrible thing to discuss isn't it but we're all in the same boat! it's been MOST unpleasant! x

I've been taking peppermint oil tablets - only needed about 3 days of them and I'm back to normal now. They relax the lining of your digestive system. My doc recommended them - lactulose didn't work for me either. Think they are called colpersperin or something like that. They're available in places like sainsburys and tesco

Lots of fluids, hun and plenty of fibre. Fruit and veg are also good. I hope you feel better soon x x

I put toilet rolls under my feet because they're there and handy and you don't have to wrack your brains for something else to use

Small handful of dried apricots - (chew them well) and a glass of lukewarm water. 2 or 3 times a day.
