Hi...I'm 8 weeks pregnant now and for.the past two weeks been having some serious constipation! I have tried more fruit and fibre and plenty of water...I've gone off lots of foods anyway so.can only seem to stomach little bits anyway..anyone else having this same issue? Are you allowed to take laxatives ? Xx

    Hi sh3, The best thing to do is visit your Dr who will prescribe you a safe, gentle laxative to use during pregnancy such as Lactulose. Do not use any shop bought ones. Also try a little prune juice (i know it sounds grim!) but a glass in the morning/evening can help to get things moving! Hope this helps. x
