Constipation
Show your support
This happened to me! At about 9 weeks. I can’t give you any advice because in all honesty I just put up with the pain and it went away🤣
The only thing that’s helped me is fruit and medication. Go to pharmacy and ask what you can have to help xx
I’ve just bought docusate sodium I’m hoping that helps!
See your GP, they can give you something safe to take. Also like others said, a hot bath helps. And crouching, in the bath if you have to - even if on the floor and you need to put a pad down or something - I know how gross that sounds but it really, really helps open up that passage. Prune juice, hot drinks (doesn’t have to have caffeine in) If you can crouch on your toilet, fab but since you’re pregnant I’d be safe. I hope you’re feeling better soon xx
I’m struggling with this too, however iv struggled with constipation many years before pregnancy. Use wet toilet wipes and go gently. Also speak to a pharmacist about best cream. I use an emollient type cream which looks like Vaseline. It helps the skin to be less sore. Do not push, you will make everything worse. Also a nice warm bath helps and then use the cream after. Basically cream all the time, even before pooping. You may have caused a little tear called a fisher which is what’s bleeding, unless it’s haemorrhoids. There is lots of lotions and potions on the market but it’s finding the right one for you. Also you can speak with your GP. Xx
