  • Oh yes, I can't remember the last time I had a poo (other than rabbit droppings.

    The only way I have been able to go is if I soak in a warm bath for ages or if I eat lots of cabbage image other than that I can't help hun. Ohhhhhh there is doing the poo dance which involves rocking backwards and forwards on the toilet, touching your toes and general fidgeting to "loosen" things.

  • Hi Bumpee I had this prob a few weeks ago and it hurt sooo much that I have been drinking two glasses of fruit juice a day and so far so good! Also try linseeds as I find they work wonders! Tammi xxx

  • Hi bumpee

    I also had this, and finally gave in after 6 weeks and went the doctors. Last weeks she gave me something called Lactulose, and fantastically it has worked!!! Took about four days to kick in, but it's fab, and I can finally go without pain. It's also helped my heartburn as well, as not evrything is is so 'bunged' up!

    I'd go to the docs if I were you and get some, couldn't recommend it enough!

  • I have the same problem. I would go to your doctor and they can prescribe you with fybogel which is safe during pregnancy as it is just pure fibre. Also bran flakes, brown bread and lots of dried fruit and prunes and apricots.

    This has helped me massively
  • im the opposite! i cant stop going! is anyone else like this? i have 11 days left but this has been happening for a few weeks now im not sure if it means labour is gonna start soon but 2-3 times a day is startin to annoy me! sorry if tmi!lol!
  • ha ha ha this topic is really making me smile.

    I had a rather embarasing moment the other day while at home, my sister was over at mine and mid poo dance she walk into the bathroom (our door doesn't lock) and saw me shaking my bum all around the place. there was this moment wher we both froze then looked at each other, she walk out closed the door then we both burst out laughing.

    ahh the joy of the poo dance.
