Hi everyone! I'm new to mumsnet but needed some advice from anyone that has been through what I am going through right now!
So I am currently about 5 weeks pregnant (woo!) but so far for the past 15 days I have been horrifically constipated/fecally impacted.
The pain is so bad that I nearly vomited yesterday.. I have been in serious agony.
GP first put me on Lactulose and Fybogel which made me feel much worse.
They then put me on Movicol and told me to drink 8 sachets a day in a litre of water.. did that for 5 days and still nothing.
I've now been told to take Docusate Sodium (DulcoEase) as well as the Movicol and they said I can also take suppositories too.
Has anyone else been on a similar treatment plan and did it work?
I am honestly losing my mind, I cant sleep, I'm scared to eat because of the pain and I just want relief. I asked about an enema but they said it can potentially cause miscarriage so that's out the window.
Any help/advice/shared experiences is really appreciated!!
