So embarrassing! (tmi)

[Beccy2011]

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well. My first post - yay!

I?ve had the most embarrassing thing happen ever today, and now I've finally stopped blushing and calmed down I thought I'd share it - probably a bit TMI, but hope it gives you a giggle!

I overslept this morning and woke up about 45 minutes later than I should have done and was frantically running around the house trying to get ready for work... and just as I was getting in the car and finally about to leave, grrr, I needed the toilet, but didn?t have time to go (I suffer from constipation and it takes a long time!)

Anyway - this is the TMI part, I finally decide to go to toilet at work (which I hate!) but I have the worst constipation ever? and get blush stuck halfway! There's no movement either way, and I sit there pushing, and then straining, fidgeting on the seat, leaning forwards and backwards, standing up, sitting down, times flying by, nothing will move and I can't leave the toilet!

After 20 minutes, I still couldn't go and people kept coming in and using the cubicles on either side of mine, making me even more stressed and unable to try until they had left. I could have died with embarrassment!!! When I was finally able to stop trying and leave (without going!!!) I found out that I'd been in there for 45 minutes!

The joys of pregnancy - and I still haven?t been - anyway, now I have gotten over my acute embarrassment I thought I'd share it with you and have a good giggle about it.

hi beccy i have the exact same problem!!!!!! its not nice, have toplan like at leats half hour to have adump lol and our downstairs toilet is next to the kitchen so cant go if ithink somene can hear me lol

Prunes, prunes, prunes ..... They helped me. I bought packets of the semi dried ones from supermarket and ate them regularly till things got a bit easier!

Get some prunes/dried apricots etc down your neck girl :)

yes, prunes & apricots....and are you drinking enough water? That'll help keep things moving for you!

i could never eat a prune ever lol i also have colitus so i worry about doing anything to my bowels

I get it bad too, especially if i have been sleeping on my back. 36 weeks pregnant and not looking forward to the after birth constipation! Last time it was nearly a week of trying before I bought some sterile gloves to help myself along!!!!! The relief far outweighed the embarrassment believe me!

beccy if its any consolation i had a similar story with a much worse ending....finally resorted to the use of lactulose (it does really help clear things out to be honest and have been a lot better since) and well, basically it caused a major incident in the toilet requiring some very strong chemicals from the hardware store. my poor husband, it was a disgrace and i think has left a small but permanent dent in our maarriage
