Hi all,

It seems to me that constipation in pregnancy is one of the least glamorous bits about being pregnant, and this past week has seen my suffering big time........I can't poo!!

However, I had this problem in my last pregnancy, so from tomorrow I am on a mission to fix it! Here is what worked for me, hopefully it will work again, and if anyone else has any tricks that work, please let me know!

~ Loads of water, fruit and veg, and a spoonful of sugar on my branflakes in the morning
~ A banana smoothie with phylissium husks blended in.......works like a charm the next day......a bit like a colonic irrigation!
~ When you do get the urge to go, instead of leaning forward on the loo, lean back as far as you can.....seems to make the, umm, passage open up a bit?

Any other things that work?
