I can't cope anymore...

I'm sorry to hear this but hopefully the doctor is able to do something for you tomorrow.
 
Thanks for all your lovely replies girls :)

I phoned the doctors and begged them to help me, so they prescribed me lactulose over the phone. Have to take 3 spoonfuls twice a day. I've taken one lot so fingers crossed it works soon!! I'd love to have diarrea right now! Lol xxx
 
I take magnesium supplements. Totally fine when pregnant and really seems to help me go. They're usually sold at natural health stores.
Good luck hun, you must be in agony!
 
Im glad they did something for you! Hope it works :flower:
 
Glad you got a prescription. 11 days is awful! My doctor told me to take two colace a day (stool softener) and it has greatly helped... Maybe try that later on. I remember having the constipation for a while after giving birth as well. The colace helps keep you regular.
 
I can totally sympathise with u on this one as I suffered terribly from constipation during my first pregnancy. Don't ever feel anxious about pooping during labour, this will only make the problem worse and tbh the midwives are used to it and will clean it up without u noticing! Hope the lactulose helps, but please go back to the Dr if it doesnt cos there are plenty of other things u can try. Can't stress enough the importance of drinking plenty of water too! Xx
