I am 18 weeks preg and severly constipated, not been for 10 days. Iknow this is gross but I am in such agony i am considering going to docs for suppositories, i am so desperate. My whole middle area of my body is in pain and I barely slept last night due to the discomfort. I havenot eaten today as i now feel very sick. It is just like that advert where the lady is carrying all the weight in her bag, i can fell it all bunged up pushing to come out but no matter how mush i strain i cant move it. I am sure i pushed harder this morning than i did whilst giving birth. I know it is a gross subject but can anyone recommend anything that will work v quick, apperently dulcolax has to be avoided in pregnancy, senna does not work (tried before) and i have also downed 1/2 a bottle of califig at teatime last night (normal dose 3 teaspoons) to no effect. Any suggestions considered no matter how odd. Currently on 45 ml of lactulose a day from doctor as had this prob before, allthough not this bad, and lactulose appears to have stopped doing any good.
Help before I turn into a lump of bi poo.
Yuck
