Maybe TMI but igh

This may be TMI idk. But I'm tired of feeling like I have to poop. I'm 27 weeks today, I have this non stop feeling of having to poop. Like it's ready but as soon as I sit down, nothing. Nothing will come out. I push and nothing. Every once and a while I may get the smallest pebble. But then I lay back down and boom sensation is back. Is anyone else having this issue?

I’ve been eating 3-4 dried prunes a day and it’s helped so much!! I think they taste great (but I like dates too so 😆)

Me too same thing!! I realized when I would drink water while I’m trying to poop that actually helped get it down lol so bring a water bottle with you when you go and just start chugging it down and it will move stuff along

magnesium is helping me the most I think with the constipation

My doctor advised to take miralax 1-2 times a day. Helps a lot

Yes I’m having that happen too frequently. I’m taking an extra Iron supplement on top of it so I’m taking a stool softener too

At what age do you think having sex in the same room as your awake child becomes sexual abuse?

The other post got me thinking. At some point this is just straight sexual abuse. But at what age would you classify it as

Scared about nursery

Almost 1yo starts settling into nursery this week. She’s mostly contact naps and breastfeeds a few times during the day.

I’m scared she’ll struggle to sleep, or won’t eat much and be hungry, or will feel abandoned. I feel horrible. I spent most of my mat leave struggling and now that it’s time for it to end, I feel so sad about leaving her.

Any advice?

Getting a haircut when exclusively breastfeeding

So I'm a new Mum and I am DESPERATE for a haircut. I was meant to get one before my baby was born but baby decided to make an early appearance. My hair is now 2 months overdue for a cut and it really shows 😭 I've been struggling with my appearance since having a baby and I feel anxious about going out. Does anyone have any tips on how to handle a hair appointment with a baby and breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding

I’m currently 6 weeks and 4 days postpartum with my second. I am currently EBF which in term of milk supply and latch is going well. I struggled a lot with my first and was excited to BF my second. I am now 6 weeks in an feel like I’m not enjoying it as much as I should/thought to the point I want to stop/combi feed. However even when I think about giving her a bottle i feel super guilty and feel like I should BF instead. I also get very paranoid as to whether she is getting enough milk and constantly checking the heaviness of her nappies etc. My head is a little bit of a mess about whether to continue as it’s going better then with my first but also not enjoying it but struggling to even think about giving it up HELP. Like I want to stop but don’t want to stop
