Toilet issues..👀💩

I’m the same , had it with my first but never this bad 🙃 drinking lots of water and you can use laxatives to help , I think I’m going to try cos pregnancy constipation is no joke

@Sophie honestly the struggle is real 😂 I do need to drink more water I’m terrible for not drinking much of it c

18 weeks all I do is drink and I can’t goooo 😭😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Have you tried taking probiotics? I had to take them when I was taking antibiotics and I definitely noticed the difference. Reading online it says they help with constipation in general. Optibac do ones specifically for pregnancy. They are fairly expensive so I wonder if docs might be able to prescribe?! Worth a shot x

@Hollie I’ll have a look into that thank you!! X

@Charlie I can sort of go but it hurts because of piles and I have to stop and then I end up needing to go not long after again and same thing happens 😭😭 vicious circle 🤦🏻‍♀️ why is pregnancy SO glamorous 😂😂😂

I have to take lactulose, it’s a little bit everyday and keeps things moving. It’s a lot better for me now, you can get in at the chemist :) xx

Making myself a fruit & fiber smoothie with plenty of chia seeds every morning has helped me the most.

Girl I feel you 😂contact the doctors they can prescribe you something so it softens x

I struggled big time being pregnant. I ate as much fiber as I could and upped my water intake. I have a squatty potty too that helped a little I drank a cup of apple-white grape juice daily too

Are you eating enough fibre? I was having issues but started adding flaxseed and apricots to my morning museli and it’s a lot better now. I really notice the difference if I have a different breakfast! X

I was constipated for weeks then got put on aspirin and it's the other way round now😭😭 honestly this pregnancy is kicking my ass compared to my first😂

I drink 2-3 litres of water a day. That doesn't help at all! The struggle is real. When I do eventually need to go I dread it! It's so painful and I get really lightheaded 🙈 it's improved a little and the only thing I've changed is I've been eating hummus on toast lol hummus is supposed to be high in fibre

I’m same as you 17+1! Last few days had awful time and been suffering. 😭 only first thing when I get up though and then I’m okay all day!

I eat oranges and tangerines daily at the moment at least a few, full of vitamin C and fibre which helps go and do the business. A pint of proper real fresh OJ a day should help, too. Good with chillies helps, too! Depending on tolerance 😂

Oh girls how do we cope 😂😂😂 i upped my water intake and I’ve eaten some tangerines and yday and it helped soften and was not painful at all thankfully!

I've been taking daily apricots and seems to do the job for me!

By take I mean eat 🤣
