Lots of fruit and water, knees up and rock. 20 weeks here and have had some painful bowel movements!

I’ve felt more constipated than pregnant and am now in my third trimester!
I would have a date a day and I’ve now started prune juice. I’m just not consistent in keeping it up but really need to be!

I had the worst constipation almost the whole of my pregnancy. Fibogel every single day, lots of water and fibre and if you’re really struggling glycerine suppositories work almost immediately! I feel for you, I was miserable and so uncomfortable!
