Hiya girls, for the last week ive had bad constipation and its giving me awful tummy ache as if it aint bad enough as it is! Have any of you suffered from it? Im only bout 8 weeks pregnant and its driving me mad! Is there anything you can use when pregnant and does it help? Do you know if you can get it on prescription?

    Try dried Apricots on your cereal in the morning it really worked for me or prunes which look gross - I had never had them before but they taste better than they look. Really does work and better than drugs.

    I have had a similar problems and the GP recommended lactulose - I've not tried it yet (keep trying to keep fluids up) but apparently you can buy from the chemist!

    Maybe it will help!
