26+4 Constipation
Is constipation normal as this stage… I’ve tried tablets, flax seed, chia seeds and prune juice but it’s so uncomfortable

How long did you stick with prune juice for? This has been my best solution so far but it does take a few days to kick in and then even after you have to stick with it for a bit 😊 but I was in agony! I missed drinking any yesterday as we were out and I’m back to square one today so I definitely think it helps
Warning - TMI COMMENT!!
It's horrible! It's all hormones though which slow down your gi tract, so any fluid that is there is being absorbed, leaving it hard and horrible and painful. Mine has been so bad too. I've managed to escape laxatives but I've found that my body clears out when I eat lentils, so I have lentils twice a week (one of them is a lentil soup for lunch). I just need to make sure I'm not far from the loo a couple of hours later because by body seems to work quite quickly with them!
I had the same thing and was prescribed some gentle sachets from the GP. Highly recommend!!!
I have taken fibre gel which worked
Well xx
