Hello, I apologise as I realise it is a contentious issue for some.
However, I made the difficult decision last week to terminate a pregnancy (I was 8 weeks) because my partner was no longer in the picture. I didn't need a general anaesthetic but I was put to sleep. I only had very slight bleeding afterwards and physically seem to have recovered very well, in fact I am feeling much healthier than I did when pregnant.
However I have become severely constipated. After 5 days I eventually passed an extremely large, hard stool yesterday - it was tremendously painful, and I am still constipated. I have little appetite and I'm not eating much but I am making sure my fluid levels are up.
Is this a common problem or is it something to be concerned about?
