To stick a newspaper under my arse and squat ??

HELPMyPooIsStuck · 04/11/2012 21:37

I've been bunged up for days, so far i've tried raising my feet on the loo, sat with the paper and a coffee hoping gravity would take effect ( it didn't) rocking back and forth, vaseline splodges and drinking enough water to sink the marie celeste.

I've also tried prunes, treacle and shredded wheat.

I don't even like shredded wheat.

Bar the odd feeble offering loggy ain't shifting, it's right at the launch pad so to speak but just isn't taking off, I can actually feel it when I bend down etc, it appears to have set like clay.

So, in the interests of avoiding to mathmaticians route ( working it out with a pencil ) and in the absence of a bucket an old tub. Would I be unreasonale to shove a newspaper underneath my poor, long suffering arse and squat ??

I've been lurking watching this thread (do I really want to admit that?!) and I've nearly wet myself laughing. I'm trying to feed baby and she keeps pulling off and smiling at me as I'm shaking with laughter!

Well done OP Grin

PMSL at that quote from First.

So glad Loggy has moved out. Enjoy your blissful poo free day.

Bogeyface · 05/11/2012 12:52

Good Q Cunny! I am going for 6lb 2oz.

And are we sticking with Loggy for a name?

BreeVanDerTramp · 05/11/2012 12:52

Just read full thread and so pleased you had a normal delivery Grin

I hadn't been for a few days and was vairy bloated but lucky for me the overwhelming urge came while waiting on the AA this morning after breaking down Hmm

fuzzpig · 05/11/2012 12:56

Congrats OP!

Have now read the broken bum hole thread and am even more resolute to avoid codeine-based medication forever.

duende · 05/11/2012 12:59

Congratulations Help Grin
By the way, I bloody love mumsnet. I'm at work but had to log on to see if help has now been and now I'm pissing myself with laughter.

justbogoffnow · 05/11/2012 13:00

Hurrah! Now once you've got rid if the looser stuff that's sure to follow, keep yourself 'regular' in future! How did you get into that state anyway, do you get constipated often?

IvorHughJackolantern · 05/11/2012 13:00

Ahhhhhhh congratulations Op! Any sudocreme? Splodge a little bit on your bumhole.

OnTheBottom I used to use the Harvard system at uni... But I don't remember what you're supposed to do

Fakebook · 05/11/2012 13:02

Congratulations OP! Hope you enjoy the newborn snuggles Wink

BitBewildered · 05/11/2012 13:07

Congratulations Help!

Off to read the broken bumhole thread now.

kiwigirl42 · 05/11/2012 13:08

glad its out! I had a shit the size of a cricket ball that felt like it had been studded with broken glass once, after a few weeks of painkillers for my back. I fainted with the pain, fell off the toilet and knocked myself out on the bath. At least I'd been once I came round!

PacificDogwood · 05/11/2012 13:09

Ooooh, congratulations, HELP Grin

And if the competition is still open: do I win with 8lbs2oz?

There is bound to be more to follow

What did the trick in the end?? I bet it was something you shoved up your jacksie...

BupcakesAndCunting · 05/11/2012 13:10

Well done, Help Thanks

Your bum is probably stinging now isn't it? :(

PacificDogwood · 05/11/2012 13:11

I need to get out more...

Onemoreforgoodmeasure · 05/11/2012 13:12

My understanding is that the reason a cigarette works is that it makes your heart work harder pumping blood around, so excercise would seem to be the healthy alternative, something strenuous for 5 minutes. And I'd cut back on the eating until it's sorted! I know that's easier said than done. I get this whenever I travel so I now carry psyllium husks with me whenever I travel. Take them with a drink you like the flavour of as they have a bland taste.

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 05/11/2012 13:13

Oh dear.

BupcakesAndCunting · 05/11/2012 13:19

My mother always has a fag if she has a shit that's stubborn!

Consils · 05/11/2012 13:19

Why did no one suggest colonic irrigation?

CuriousMama · 05/11/2012 13:23

yay!! I just saw those suppositories in Morrisons and thought of you OP. They're near gaviscon and suchlike if anyone's interested? Wink

BitBewildered · 05/11/2012 13:24

Consil enemas were suggested.

BoffinMum · 05/11/2012 13:39

Congratulations! When I had the opposite problem a few weeks ago, the late night insomnia crowd suggested Savlon for ring sting, and that worked very well.

Weigh yourself - you've probably lost a stone after that adventure. Wink

mrskeithrichards · 05/11/2012 14:16

Yay!!

Now I need to go find me a life.

BlueSuedeStiletto · 05/11/2012 14:40

My god. The site went down just before I got to the, ahem, birth. I was panicked! Mad clicking ensued!

And then I returned to the best possible news. Congratulations Help on the birth of little loggy. I'll get crocheting a little monogrammed blanket Smile

SolidGoldYESBROKEMYSPACEBAR · 05/11/2012 14:43

I have been finding this hideously fascinating purely because I don't ever get constipated. Well, a tiny bit after DS was born, but lactulose soon sorted it.
Anyway, well done OP and at least if it happens again you'll know what to do.

TheCunnyFuntWearingAPoppy · 05/11/2012 14:46

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm at a loss as to what the frigging hell to do with my time now?? No more Shit Watch :(

I suppose I can walk the dog in a bit, he might produce something of interest.
