Constipation pains 😭😭

Bit TMI but does anyone have any suggestions for what to do for constipation? I have now been given two rounds of different laxatives, both of which haven’t done a single thing to me. Today, I’m in SO much pain in my belly, it hurts when I even move. The doctors don’t seem to help and just tell me it’s apart of being pregnant but I’m in so much pain. Luckily I’m not bleeding or anything but I don’t want to mistake my stomach cramps for anything else. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?

Lactulose and lots of fruit and water is the only thing that helps me!

@Gemma I’ve tried lactulose, it did nothing! I’m now on even stronger laxatives but they’re not doing anything x

Push it out with oranges, prunes, bananas smoothies etc! So satisfying when it finally does come. Also lying flat and rubbing your belly or using a stool on toilet can help but don't be on stool too long think it can make hemorrhoids worse

Are you a tea drinker? Try having a cuppa, chewing gum and maybe beans? Eat plenty of fibre

sleep on ur left it helps alot xx

I had a big iced coffee the other day and it was incredible, afterwards

I know this sounds weird, but if you take a bottle of water and a straw with you to the toilet and blow bubbles while you're sitting there, it really helps x

Are you taking iron tablets? Consult doctor first but maybe you should reduce the dose if so

2 sungold kiwis a day is a great treatment for constipation. So it’s worth a shot 🤞
