Constipation
I've been constipated since I found out I was pg again a fortnight ago - I can go, but not very often, and when I do it's huge and like a brick (sorry - tooooooo much info! ) Seem to remember I had this for the first few months when pg with Lily.
Anyway, I still have half a bottle of Lactulose left over from when I was constipated directly after Lily's birth nearly 8 months ago :roll: Does anyone know if it's ok to take this while pregnant? I can always ask my pharmacist but thought one of you could tell me so I don't have to go out in this bloody horrible rain

I was told to take lactulose too so it should be safe in pregnancy.
Check the expiry date though, most medicines need binning a few weeks after opening.
Hope you feel better soon

Fingers crossed your constipation doesn't return after your LO's birth, Lulu (there's no reason for it to, it's just that I was on iron tablets afterwards, and constipation + stitches = OW )
Oh i ment to ask, when are you due? xxx

Paula - the Lactulose seemed to do the trick for a while after my last pg, but then I just started getting the runs - probably because I took to swigging it from the bottle instead of measuring it out properly
Diane - hello bump buddy! Think you must be confusing me with someone else as it didn't take long to conceive Lily, luckily. This time ours is a Surprise Bean (we thought we'd avoided the fertile window but obv not :roll: ) Seems all the money I spent on ov tests back in the day was wasted!
How is Lily? what age is she now? how are you feeling etc? any sickness? xxx
I'm feeling really well thanks, just totally myself apart from the constipation. Wouldn't know I was pg apart from all the tests in my top drawer! I had two days of nausea if I got hungry right at the beginning, but that's gone now. My pg with Lily was the same, symptomless practically, so am hoping I'll be as lucky again this time.
Lily is almost 8 months now and getting more and more fun ) What will the gap between your two be?
Glad you've escaped sickness this time, that sounds terrible.

have a fab and healthy preg xx
