Help me poo

Lots of prunes or prune juice (I found it too sweet in pregnancy) or back to back lactulose. Can the hospital not give you an enema if it’s that bad?

When I was pregnant, I used to have to drink a cup with MiraLAX in it once a day. It helped a lot with the constipation.

I’m almost 17 weeks and it’s taken me this long to get a decent system! I’ve been struggling really badly too, but I think I’ve finally got it down.

Here is what I do: night time take 15ml lactulose, then for breakfast have a bowl of fruit & fibre cereal with a few dried prunes and loads of water throughout the day. I also do (gentle) yoga most mornings and walk 20-60 minutes each day.

Good luck 🤞🏽

^ normally by lunchtime I can go to the toilet

I purchased a fibre supplement that is tasteless and safe for pregnancy - this has helped me keep regular as I had horrific constipation and bloating first two months of pregnancy. It’s Optifibre and I got it from Amazon. I hated prune juice and it did nothing for me but adding a scoop of this to my coffee first thing and cereal has really helped. You can also take dulcoease stool softeners which might help ease things up too xx

Dried figs help too

Do froggy on the toilet, or get a stool to raise your knees and feet right up. We do not poo in a natural position as it is, so change it up. Someone suggested to me once sitting on the toilet backwards which interestingly helped

am very sensitive to coffee is i avoid completely but thnx for the advise

they gave me enema but couldn't hold it for long and it didn't help much, am on lactulose and laxido

Ohhhhh thank you so much guys definitely taking alot on board and will start buying some stf online, I hope it works very soon

have you tried the max dose as often as possible? And yh enemas are hard to keep in but if you can it works great. Laxido I never tried but have heard of it lol

@Shay OMG I never saw this, and you have my daughter's name !! 😍
