8 weeks and severe constipation and bloating!

[Louisec128]

Anyone else around 8 weeks or so and struggling with bloating? Like I look about 5 months pregnant already. I suspect it's down to the constipation but I already feel like a whale, can't remember it being this bad first time around. Any tips? We haven't told anyone yet but gonna be hard to hide until past 12 weeks at this rate!

I didn’t go for a poop for THREE long weeks at around 8 weeks! Talk to your GP, and get on the Lactulose - it really helped me. I was fully back to normal after about 12 weeks. Good luck and congratulations 🥳

Right lactulose it is, I do recall bloating 1st time around, but not this severe! Thank you xx

I'm around 6/7 weeks and the bloating is horrendous. I feel huge too, not sure how much longer I can hide it. I haven't suffered with the constipation, just the nausea and the bloating!! Hope it subsides soon

I am near 7 weeks. Been suffering for weeks thinking it was constipation not even before realising I was pregnant. I still get the bloating now but glad the nausea gone a bit. Horrible cramps all the time.
Try eating anything like Bran flakes anything to make you go. But if this continues will have to get what another poster suggested.

Forgot to add look big already too.

I had this too, I drank loads of prune juice and it worked amazing was like a miracle! I highly recommend trying prune juice.

I'll get some prune juice too, feel miserable and uncomfortable!

@Louisec128 did you try some prune juice in the end? Hope you are feeling better

I actually haven't yet, on the shop list this weekend, I have been consciously drinking more water though so it's eased slightly.
