If u go 2 see ur nurse or gp they will be able 2 give u some lactulose or something!! Or ask in at ur chemist and they will be able 2 tell u wats safe 2 take during pregnancy!! And I always find fresh orange loosens ur bowels aswell!! Sorry I cant be more help chick!!

cranberry juice is very good with your bowels perhaps try a fruit smoothie and it will make you blast! lol

Ooo I had this problem with my 1st pregnancy and its not fun so you have my sympathy.

I went to the Dr in the end who gave me some mild lactulose. It did the trick.

Dont feel embarrassed going to the Dr they get this all the time. If you keep putting it off you may end up with piles and thats more embarrassing to go to the Dr with ! hehe

Good luck!

been there - take action tho cos you could end up with piles too - just one of those little pregnancy joys!
