Make sure you are drinking heaps of fluids, it's easy to get dehydrated when pregnant or breastfeeding, and perhaps limit your coffee and tea (and other caffeine) if you haven't already, since they're diuretics which encourage fluid to leave your body.
You might find pear juice really effective, and also prune juice.
:yeahthat:
also warm baths help to relieve any pain associated.
Everything Nelle said :yeahthat:
Also fresh licorice like from Darrell Lea, can help, dried fruit, apricots are good and prunes if you like them. Oats are good (porridge).
The midwife that works at our pharmacy said that Movicol is safe to use during pg, I managed to get mine under control with the fruit veg water and oats though.
Good luck:goodluck:
