Constipation
Hi everyone! I’m 36+2 and due a c-section this friday. I’m so unbelievably constipated and have been for 3/4 days now. I’ve tried eating fruit, spicy foods, orange juice, prunes & also taken constipation relief pills and nothing is working.
I ideally want ‘relief’ before my c-section - as I know they put a suppository up there to stop you from going, but my belly is already so hard and sore from not being able to go!
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I can do to help me go to the toilet? I can’t have anything sugary due to GD😊

Laxative will probably be given to you when you speak to your midwife or doctor. Make sure you’re drinking lots, try eating fibre and whole grain cereals. Hope you feel better soon 🤞🏻
Laxido from your docs or the pharmacy and a bowl of bran flakes! Xx
I’d ask medical team. Something doesn’t seem right if you’ve taken pills and nothing has come out at all
