Tips to ease Constipation??
I’m almost 8 weeks and I am going days without bowel movements! My stomach feels constantly bloated and hard and sometimes I get uncomfortable cramps because of it. Probably not helped by my diet atm as it is carb heavy as I struggle to eat vegetables due to the nausea.
Anyone else experiencing the same and have any tips to reduce constipation? I was taking physlium husk but my nausea is preventing me from taking any tablets other than vital pre natals.

I found that, Green Tea after meals really helped. (Decaffeinated if you can find it) bananas also helped with digestion and stomach massages to help bowels. Lots of Broccoli as well helps x I’ve been struggling but these remedies really help me.
Take a probiotic, my midwife recommended this to me
Prune juice, lentils, chia seeds with yoghurt. You can get lactulose, fybogel or magricol over the counter at your local pharmacy. All osmotic laxatives / fibre bulking which are safe in pregnancy.
