Constipation
Pharmacy rant!!! My bf went to the chemist for me and told them I am pregnant they told him to tell me to drink hot/ warm water and they can’t give anything!!! I don’t understand couldn’t they have given fybogel or fig juice or something 😢 😠 the water seemed to help a little! I had a Weetabix and I think it helped but I read it can make constipation worse. Anyone else struggling early pregnancy with this :(

Im in my third trimester now but had really bad constipation at the start, you can have lactulose which is safe to take but I also recommend a little prune juice, tastes horrid but will do the job
Go to your GP or fill in a patches form, they should be able to prescribe you something to help!
When there's an "underlying condition" pharmacists tend to err on the side of caution!
You can have lactulose safely in pregnancy which can be bought over the counter
And glycerine suppositories
Milk of magnesia, it tastes horrible but it works AMAZINGLY
I am going to get some fybogel tomorrow thanks everyone

Hope youve got this sorted, if not, your GP should prescribe you some cosmocol, I had the same issues x
