Constipation is a bitch

Ask your midwife to get you something prescribed babe xx

You can get laxido over the counter which is safe to use in pregnancy x

Fresh orange juice but like the Sainbury’s best one it’s pure orange juice and not watered down. If you have a pint of that it might help. Does for me and my son x

Beans and rice seems to do magic for me ;) also in general increasing veg, fruit (apple is great for me) and loads of water to keep everything hydrated. Like 2l a day or more. I read laxatives are ok in pregnancy. I’d check with my midwife. Wishing you the best!

Did you tried lactulose? My midwife prescribed it to me…I only took it 2 times and It solved my problem…

Lactulose is safe and you can get it prescribed, I was also given peppermint water after my first - with the lactulose - and that helped but you’d need to check re pregnancy.
Dried apricots help and if you drink coffee I personally find the Nescafé Azera works wonders 👀😆 I’ve replaced one of my normal coffees with that every morning and it’s helping

Thanks so much everyone! I’m slightly better today but thinking of doing an econsult in the morning to see if I can get anything to help. I’m low iron too so I’m sure the iron suppliments have contributed
