Sorry if this is tmi , but I really need help!
I haven’t been able to poo in 5 days . Hospital gave me Lactulose when I was on the ward and all it did was make me feel like I needed to go, but when I ran to the toilet it was just wind . I can feel the poo there , but it won’t come out. I’ve tried to massage myself as I read that on google but no luck it’s still stuck. It’s so dry and sore and I’ve just had an awful time in the toilet where I’ve actually torn myself and I have given myself piles .
I’ve tried : Drinking lots of orange juice
I’ve tried to eat some roughage foods like bread etc , but because I’ve not had a huge appetite it’s been hard to eat . My tummy is so sore from it and I don’t know what to do 😩
I’m just over 10 weeks pregnant .

That is really helpful to know. So relived (pun intended) for you! Once that impacted bit is out, as you say, the rest is a breeze.

Stay very well hydrated (can't stress that enough based on my experience with impaction) and get lots of fruit and veg to stop it from happening again.

Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy Thanks
