I have been feeling sick but haven't actually been sick - I have even tried to make myself feel better but no amount of fingers down the throat has helped!! Hoping it will ease or I can be sick soon.
I am seeing the midwife at the end of Feb - coldn't book me an appointment till then but I have an early scan so will put my mind at rest.
Have they given you an estimated due date?
I suffered badly myself about 3 weeks ago and understand how uncomfortable it is!!
try not to strain it not only is it really painful i was advised by my MW that it causes plies!
The things that worked the best for me in the end after 4 days of suffering was drinking lots of water, going for a walk for about 30mins, eating fibre (brown bread toast with beans and chesse worked for me) and eating prunes ( hate them and put off eating them but i ensure you they work!) after a couple of days of the above I was in working order again.
Good luck Girls x
have you seen that fiber thingy you put a spoon of it in a drink like sugar in tea and its ment to be like pure fiber just to top up your daily in take do you know if its safe?
I watched that jamie Olivier thingy and am quite worried i'm not pooing enough!! I know my diet needs improvement really for a long term answer its just finding things that I like and can eat regular prunes make me think of slugs when I eat them and I heave and my eyes water and they just end up rolling around and around in my mouth and I cant swollen them! really makes it hard to try again! x
When i asked the chemists about trying anything they all said that they didnt recomend taking anything being that early on in pregnancy.i asked 3 different ones and none of them would give me anything
i used to do the same with the prunes i used to just put one in my mouth close my eyes and chew!!!
try not to worry about it too much as it is completely normal and just one of the lovely side effects of being pregnant!
Maybe try and see if you can get an appointment at your docs or ring your MW x
Im currently 31+6, Ive had it on and off the whole time, all I can suggest is toasted current bread from cooplands, or special kay. Even robinsons barley water coridal helped
both worked for me,

I'm now 8 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I'm makin sure I dont go down the same road again, I eat a Weetabix every morning and drink planty water also as much as I hate prunes or prune juice I still drink a small amount a day.
Hope this helps you all.

You can take fybogel as it is totally natural and i have always had digestive probs and had been having fybogel for ages before and it says on the back of the packets that it is suitable for constipation during pregnancy and my doctor has also confirmed that for me.
