Constipation relief?

Hi
Is anyone using any over the counter meds for constipation relief? I am eating mainly fruits at the moment and I do drink a lot of water but I do have a quite bad case of morning sickness so I struggle to keep stuff down/ eat things because everything sucks. At the moment my safe food is cereal and peaches… I know milk should be my enemy with constipation at the moment but I am just so limited whit what I can keep down. Is there anything anyone can recommend?
Thank you x

I’ve been adding benefiber to my drinks 😅
My diet is weird, so I’m sure I’m not having enough fiber 😅

Prune juice! You can probably add it to the milk if your struggling to keep food/drink down

I went to the pharmacy and got lactulose. I only use it when I’ve not gone for three or more days. I try to rely on natural items. I find I can eat dry fibre cereals slowly and keep it down. As well as raspberries and eating small amounts of dates.

Zita west do a 1st trimester bundle and it includes this. They are so good! I still get bloated - but the constipation is so much better

Prunes and all bran (fibre) cereal

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section
