Is it quite normal to start experiencing problems with going for a poo so early on? I am only 5+4, but my god it's difficult and uncomfortable at times. Sorry if TMI.

Lactulose is great and I have been constipated since before I knew I was pregnant!

Another tip and a little TMI but my doc said to me that good 'throne' position is essential! I tried his tips and its working for me.

Sit up very straight, breath deeply keeping relaxed and roll your feet up to your tip toes or put your feet on a little stool as it brings your knees above your hips. The theory is it relaxes you and straightens your 'passage'. Hope that helps x

sprinkle bran on your cereal or mix it into a yogurt :)
