Hi everyone.
I'm 38 + 2 and sorry for tmi but last week for about 3 nights in a row I had really bad diarrhoea and the past 2 days I've been constipated! I have been able to go and pass little odd bowel movements but the pain in my stomach from not being able to go to the toilet is horrible. I was up all last night with painful braxton hicks and then sore stomach and gassy pains. I feel like I really need to go to the toilet there is so much pressure in my bum also. If I ring the midwife or doctor will they be able to give me anything I can't find anything over the counter suitable for pregnant women.

Of course they can, def phone them. In the meantime... fat, fluid, fibre, plus exercise if you can. How about a nice meal of peanut butter, dates, oranges... 😁 And loads of water!
