seriously constipated now and only 19 weeks in. nothing is working :(
lactulose didn't work for me, I had a right nightmare. my midwife gave me laxido sachets instead and they work alot better... and a bowl of shredded wheat every morning 😊x
Be careful with lactulose though, some women find that it just gives them wind but doesn't help them 'go' so if you find its not worked within a week go back to your Dr. Or midwife
I took Movicol :) It is amazing :) My family nurse recommended it to me...It said something about it taking it during pregnancy. But you must consult your doctor :) Ask your midwife about it :) I took it weeks back when I had constipation from the iron tablets I had to take after delivery xx
@tg123456789, good idea. it gives u a natural bowel movement. not a quick run to the loo jobby. takes a few days to get u regular. hope u get good results x
im goimg to ask at midwifes next week for some @donzi.harri xx
u can get lactulose free on prescription. they will give u a big one too that will last for ages. I have it, it really helps and is safe xx
Any pharmacy hun yeah I spoke to the pharmacist as I thought I was going to explode 😂😉 yeah and it's gentle you don't just feel like your gonna have no control xx @tg123456789

@tg123456789, yes you can get it from Boots and yes about the only one you can! You need to drink lots of water with it to help loosen things xXx
