Ive been suffering with intermittent constipation.
I seem to really struggle for a few days a week and then the rest of the week I go absolutely fine.

However is been 4 days now since my last bowel movement, I really feel like I need to go, I can feel it there but no matter how hard I try it will not move!! (Sorry TMI)

The Dr has prescribed lactulose. Has anyone else used during pregnancy and how long did it take to work?

I really didn’t want to take any medication, but I’ve tried changing my diet, extra fibre, lots of water, prune juice etc.
But I’m still suffering on and off!! 😕

I’ve used it, it took two days

I am using it too. It was prescribed after I ended up in hospital with severe pain on my left side. Normally it should take 1-2 days max for it to work.
