Gassy and constipated

I’m 39+2 and in the past couple of days I’ve become extremely gassy but also incredibly constipated. Sometimes after eating I’m convinced baby is going to come become I’m so uncomfortable but lo and behold I just need a massive poo! Has anyone else experienced this towards the end of their pregnancy? I’ve never been like this before it’s so unusual for me, and uncomfortable! 😢

Yes I was a bit like this at the weekend, think it was to do with the baby dropping super low maybe? I've been in loads of pain from baby pressure as well as constipation 🥴 I've increased my magnesium citrate and it's helped ease things (I'm 40+1) x

Give your GP a call because they can prescribe some laxative or stool softener the same day to help!

See if you can be prescribed lactoluse from your doctor! Or you can buy it from any pharmacy

Can try more fiber, prunes, prune juice. It’s been helping me 🥴
