Constipation tmi

[RubyLouise]

I'm really struggling with constipation. I gave birth 4 days ago. I'm taking lactose morning and night.
I sit on loo and feel it 'on its way' and then I can't get it out. It's really starting to distress me. Any tips? X

Hi, not sure if you're doing this but as lactulose draws water into the bowel you have to drink lots of fluid for it to have any effect. Maybe try drinking lots and some fruit, pears are good xx
