    TMI Constipation

    Hi,

    So now that my morning sickness seems to be easing off I have a horible case of constipation. I have tried benifibre, Metamucil, prunes and even liquorice but nothint is working.

    I seem to be soo backed up that if I do manage a poop some more just moves down to where it was sits there and will not move.

    I also have this paid just near my right hip which I am attributing to the constipation (but it is freaking me out a little).

    Can you please give me suggestions for any kind of releif.

    The worst part is when I had MS I could tell people what is wrong but how do you tell your boss that your cranky because you have not pooped properly for a week?????

    HELP PLEASE!!!

    its awful isnt it i would drink lots of water and try and walk when ever i could..U can ask the chemist what you can take that is safe as i know there is things that are ok to take , as if its bad its uncomfortable and u will end up with hemorrhoids

    Prunes didnt work for me but iv heard ppl say that prune juice helped a lot, i couldnt drink it it was to sweet for me but it may work for u

    With DD the chemist gave me lactulose, & told me to drink at least 2 litres of water or weak cordial a day. And to try & go for at least a 15 minute walk a day if possible
