Constipation
Sorry if it's too much but I need some advise as I'm traumatized if I'm honest...
I'm currently 28 +4 and I was put on iron tablets about a month ago due to being slightly anemic, I'm a big girl and if I'm honest I'm used to big 💩's however tonight it felt like what I can imagine is giving birth out the back passage 🤦
It was so big and thick and black I'm just wondering if it's normal, I was up there ages, breathing and changing positions and pretty sure I peed on my bathroom floor trying to make it budge as it was so uncomfortable and there.
Is it worth me phoning the doctors tomorrow to see about coming off my iron tablets?
It's my first pregnancy and baby and I don't want to risk anything but my god I was up there about an hour and a half 😳
Sorry for too much information, hopefully I've gave you ladies a bit of a giggle, I'm pretty sure my partner thinks I'm gross 🤣

Hi I would call the doctor. During my 1st pregnancy I had constipation because of my iron supplements too and when my doctor changed the tablets I was relieved.
It’s normal with iron. Eat vegetables and whole grains with every single meal, drinks lots more water than usual. At the end of the day low iron can cause huge problems and constipation is just painful for a bit.
