awww Mel I feel your pain!!!
I hate it even more when its 2 am you can hardly keep your eyes open and yet you feel like you need to do the biggest turd ever so you sit and wait, and wait, shift positions, wait some more, rub your belly, start shaking coz your so damn cold then finally give up!!!

I reckon bubs loves her bum being tapped coz when she moves into a position and it feels like she is way up under the ribs and kinda out to one side. So I rub my tum an dlightly pat it she leans out further into my tapping hand :shakeshead:

You know - nobody ever tells you about this stuff do they - well except for the girls in here but IRL noone ever mentions the last few months and all the "little" joys associated with it.

ohhhh try some boiled water (hot) with a squeeze of lemon. I find it helps to soften the stools and rocking a little bit forwards and back and sometimes side to side, on the loo, can help to shift bub and hopefully allow the passage to empty out.
