Hi,

Have you tried, fiber-rich foods such as a cereal, fruits, vegetables, and beans to your diet, that might help xx

[Del92 in reply to Magc27]

Eat lots of fruit today and beans , been eating rubbish past few days so usually happens after that xxx

I haven't had the problem yet. Not sure, but my daily porridge breakfast with ground flax seed might be helping? Good luck!

Without meaning to sound rude, I found a lot of the answers to my pregnancy related questions in a fanastic book called 'what to expect' it was like my bible and I kept it by my bed to read every night for the whole 9 months.

I understand your fears and anxieties as after our IVF I was full of fears too but found that sites like babycentre and Emma's Diary were very informative also. Good luck with your pregnancy x

Hi , who wrote the book as sounds good?

[lou79 in reply to Gem1982]

If you go to whattoexpect.com and you can sign up to receive week to week updates on your pregnancy and also the book is on amazon and it is called what to expect when you are expecting. Personally I didn't feel comfortable posting my pregnancy queries on here as I felt there are so many women dealing with such pain and heartache who would give there right arm for a bit of pregnancy related constipation x

My clinic gave me a letter to make sure I open my bowel every day. If not take 10-15ml of lactulose twice a day. I got some from boots pharmacy took 3 days to help x
