I was so constipated a few weeks ago that I couldn't walk properly, I had stabbing pains and was really uncomfortable...I ended up taking a natural laxitive from the chemist (it was a fruit based one) on recomendation from my doctor and also a product called "De-Gas" to help with wind problems. It took one day and then it all started moving again...I tell you what though, the first movement was AGONY...gawd it hurt, brought tears to my eyes it did...and it wasn't the actual movement that was the problem it was my bowel, I think it was bruised from too long being full and bub's bouncing round on it...

I tried EVERYTHING and nothing would shift the blockage so it was laxitives or die (in my eyes)....it took a few days to get back to normal so don't expect miracles overnight. I will never let it get that bad again, I will be taking the laxitive as soon as I get any signs...no point suffering needlessly...
