I’m a midwife, I would say to use lactulose, also made sure you’re having loads of fruit and veg! Xx
Dates!
Fybrogel and laxido were god sents my obstetrician prescribed me! So speak to your doctor about those as everyone is different. I found lactulose did nothing for me. I was severely constipated until week 26/27 and have had no issues since starting these. I have a high fibre diet and drink 3L of water normally so neither of these helped. Prune juice sort of helped at times for me!
@Hannah my midwife also said lactoluse! But she said my husband would have to buy it for me as they won’t give it to pregnant women without a prescription x
@Leonie yeah they probably won’t, send him!
Dates, prune juice, lactulose, full sugar Coca Cola
I dont think it is . Check with gp. I take fybogel and lactulose. Gp prescribed this and laxido. Give gp a bell tomorrow . Prune juice also helps and up fibre in take.( I continually take fybogel !)
