Constipation at the end?

[mumoffive]

Finding it hard to go to the toilet over the last couple of days. Its very uncomfortable. Anyone else? All i seem to read is people with loose bowels at the end of pregnancy..well not me! First time ive really suffered from it!! Wondering if its also the pressure of the baby?

I'm overdue (40+2) and tbh I have never had loose bowel as such. Maybe once abt 2 days ago but mostly been constipated. (Which is horrible btw)! xx

I've had constipation all the way through. I eat lots of fruit and veggies, and fibers, drink loads of water, take lactulose, and still have problems (plus hemmoroids). It's pretty bad, but I'm hoping it'll get better after labour.

If I'm very constipated, I may ask for an enema in the hospital, I had it last time, and it was a reassuring feeling.

My 1st tri constipation is back also!! Horribly bad...I sat on the toilet in so much pain the other day and couldn't go...I almost vomited while trying and got light headed while I was going to pass out. It's hard for me to push because of the pressure I feel in my vagina area from the baby. I think the constipation is coming from the low down position of baby so my guess is it is completely normal towards the end. Although I don't remember it with my others either. But occasionally I will get loose stools too but not often anymore.
