Glycerin suppositories - to sort things out straight away.

Then every day:

Linseeds and a big drink of water
Walking
Inulin - add to porridge.
Porridge - add prunes, linseeds and inulin
Bio live yoghurt
Fibogel
Laxido - if required

Strawberries or tinned prunes. Ask your pharmacist about Fybogel, it's very helpful but I do not know if you can take it while pregnant, so best ask.

I suffer from this terribly - even when not pregnant :(

If you really need to go but can't suppositories will help.
Try raising your feet up when on the toilet
Don't strain - that doesn't help

Hope you feel better soon.

Water
Oranges and oranges juice / other fruits
Lactulose
