Iron tabs , constipation, and piles 1 week till delivery

[spudnik1]

I am having a c-section in 7 days. I was pit on iron tablets last week, and since I have had constipation and now have piles.

I have started fybogel. Let's just say the first bowel movement wasn't pleasant 😒 but along with guzzling 1.5litres of water onto of my normal drinks it seems to be doing the job.

I have dropped some iron tabs . Taking every other day now.

Started using pile cream and suppositories.

Anything else I can do? I know i have nervous bowels as is last time it took me 5 days to go in hospital. I want to get the bowls regular and very soft !

Any hints and tips?

Eat a pear or 5-6 prunes a day to keep you regular

Stop the Fybogel, have a load of Laxido. And the prunes.

I have bought some prune juice. Will look up the laxio .
