Thanks for the advice guys - satya - yours made me laugh, but I definately will try it - anything to help at this stage.

Going to my Ob today so will ask her this question and report back.

Touch wood so far I've had it fairly easy with this pregnancy (I'm going to jinx myself for saying that now) but this constipation is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I have to laugh at myself cause as I was on the loo trying to get this thing out, I was picturing to myself going through labour - ha ha ha - I'm such an idiot

think i might just eat a whole bag of prunes and glide through!!

ha ha enough poo talk

thanks again
