Ask for movicol or lactulose also drink lots of water. Low iron can make you very poorly so you should try and take the tablets x

Mine is around the same and I'm terrible at not taking them as they do the same to me, take iron vitamins instead I've heard they're better x

I'm gonna ask for the ones that don't give you as much side affects but takes longer! Also gonna get some foods in that will help too xx

Ask them to prescribe you lactulose too, it's perfectly safe, even for babies so no need to worry if you're bfing ?
