You need to go for natural stuff like prune juice, orange juice, sugar water etc. Drink plenty of water. I'm not sure but I think you can take senokot as it's natural senna and not a drug, but I would double check that. Don't eat eggs.
And whatever you do don't force it! Piles are horrible in pregnancy and just after!
The advice I was given was to take a hot/warm drink to the loo with me plus something to read and sit there for a while allowing your bowels to naturally work slowly rather than forcing lol! Seems laborious and annoying but does work eventually!

Hi Sath! Yay for eating out, I much prefer eating out in winter, coz I love stews and pies and you just can't make them for one person so better to eat out lol!
I've eaten crap today, sausage roll, frozen chicken rubbish and then a packet of pasta and sauce for tea, all because I couldn't be bothered cooking!

 

[SATH]

Glad you had a good day at boat show sounds a fun crossing NOT!! Have fun bump shopping.

For constipation my friend swears by strong coffee and a fag - what you mean thats no bloody help he he. Sorry no ideas but doesnt sound fun xx

Yipee its fri roll on 4.30!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks girls a good book and a coffee on the pan it is then

Bailey what happened to your eating plan? You were really motivated a couple of days a go. Have you got a slow cooker? I love winter coz cooking is easy we chuck veg and meat in it before we go to work and then a lovely stew is waiting for us when we get home

 

[baileybubs]

Oh mrs d I completely gave up with being so tired lol! I was cranky enough with being tired so depriving myself of food was making me snappy with df and feel upset when Emilia was being miss cranky pants. I've deffo not argued as much with df since just eating what I want lol! Goes to show that sometimes our arguments are down to me not being as tolerant and not being in a good mood! But maybe that's all in my head and I'm just making up excuses to not diet hahaha!

We don't have a slow cooker no but would be a good idea to get one I think, I find it hard sometimes to get time to make something, and then once she's in bed I can't be bothered lol!

Are you doing baby belly shopping today?

Sath yay it's Friday! Any more signs? What dpo are you now?

Hey ladies how u guys doin?x

Mrs D I had constipation while pg fybogel was great. Xx

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies how u guys doin?x

Mrs D I had constipation while pg fybogel was great. Xx

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah I used fybogel too, tastes awful but that's coz it's like orange cordial with grainy bits in and I hate orange cordial anyway lol!

How are you today Cheryl? Any sign of AF or are the opks still positive?

 

[MrsDuck]

It's well worth getting a slow cooker bailey, stews are so cheap and you literally chuck it in and coz it stews for hours the meat just falls apart yum

We did ikea, dunelm mil and new look but new look hardly had any maternity clothes so we'll try another tomorrow

It's the weeeeekend

 

[baileybubs]

I had that problem with my local new look mrs d, they had got rid of all their maternity section to replace it with Christmas outfits and party weat grrrr! Was well annoyed.

Just bought myself loads of frozen fish in a bid to eat properly again. I was buying fresh fish and ending up freezing it! So I got 4 salmon fillets from Morrisons for £3, let's hope the quality is ok!

 

[MrsDuck]

Yeah that's probably the problem here too, hopefully I'll have now luck tomorrow

I don't think you can go too far wrong with fish, I'm sure it will be fine

I've eaten lots of fruit today so hopefully that will help my little problem

 

[SATH]

Wow sounds like you've had a busy day Mrs d shame New look was a let down hopefully better tomorrow. What have you got planned tonight. How bout getting some chickpeas down you they do the trick. All this talk of meat!! I'd love a slow cooker but the fights I'd want to do veggie stuff and oh would want meat.

What you been up to Bailey. Sure your fish will be good. Don't blame you on the diet very hard to be healthy and disciplined when you have a baby to look after. Don't be hard on yourself. So is decision made on the house?

Cheryl what's happening with the tests. Have you and Leo had a fun week when you've not been poas!!

I'm knackered had such a crazy week at work only 1 in and 5 very demanding consultants. Had a rush of energy when got home so been in loft summer duvet gone, summer clothes gone boo!! Absolutely no symptoms so not looking positive. FF says of Sat if I keep + opk if I take that out based on temps it says thurs I think it might be thurs of Fri so around 7dpo?

 

[baileybubs]

Well the landlady wants to meet us but couldn't do it today so she's meeting us on Monday. It's a bit unorthodox coz it's usually just first one to pay the estate agent fees gets it but for some reason the landlady wants to meet us and this other couple. I really want the house now though. Even though it will end up costing us more every month at least we will then be in a 3 bedroom so my mum can stay over when she had Emilia and we will also have it for when baby number 2 arrives whenever that may be lol!

How hard is it to agree on tea in your house then Sath? I am so glad sometimes that df works evenings coz we'd never agree on tea and that's with neither of us being veggie! Do you have completely different meals or do you just do yourself a veggie version of what dh has? What dpo are you now Hun by the way? When are you testing??

Mrs d I hope you have more luck tomorrow! Did you find anything nice at dunelm mill?

 

[SATH]

That's bit strange with the landlady. Sure you'll get it will be lovely to have more space and bedroom all ready for number 2!

Yeah tea can be fun. If I do veg I tend to have veggie and oh has meat but spag bol and chilli are all veggie with the mince it's hardly noticeable. He's pretty good most the time otherwise he'll have to cook his own!!

I think I'm maybe 7 dpo not gonna test till tues if no af before. Would be great to get bfp before specialist appointment!

 

[baileybubs]

That would be excellent Sath!! Coz then they might be able to do some blood tests and stuff and see if anything like baby aspirin could help you!

I agree about the mince, I just bought two 500g bags of quorn mince today for my spag bols and chillis. I love it, think it tastes great as long as you season it well. Healthier too.

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies OPKs are getting lighter thank god all my tests came so I'm ready for ttc in a few months my mil was over today and when I mentioned next time meaning baby no 2 she snapped and said there is plenty time for tht Leo is constant work it makes me think dh has said to he he still doesn't want another but I'm desperate I felt like saying I'm sorry I hadn't realised I was asking u to help :angry:

Bailey yeah for meeting the landlord go u found a place really quick..x

Mrs d I had to order all my stuff online. Defo get fybogel it was instant relief lol..x

Sath when will u be testing Hun?x

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Have a great weekend girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey everyone

Sorry I'm not about much at the moment, I try and read and keep up as best I can but don't always have time to post!

Mrs d did you love Dunelm? Did you get the pillow? Can't believe you are just a few miles down the road from me at the moment! I feel your misery with the constipation, I'm so bunged up at the moment which is really unlike me! Not sure what's causing it, but think it's just that a rarely have time to go lol! Try h & m for maternity, loads in fact most of my clothes came from there and new look! Red herring in Debenhams is pretty good to, their leggings are the best quality I found, still wearing them now!

Bailey yey for a new house!! Oh and you defo need to get a slow cooker, I love mine. And you can pick then up really cheap in places like Robert dyas plus they're really economical.

Cheryl yey you're not preggers, sorry your cycle is weird tho! Your MIL sounds very annoying, they generally are tho.

Sath I'm excited for you and your fs appointment next week, this is another step towards your baby! I did aspirin until 30 weeks and high dose FA until 13 weeks.

Not much to report with us, getting into a nice routine with Zach. Am still expressing but think my supply is starting to lessen so have started taking fenugreek capsules today in the hope of boosting it (you guys know how I love an alternative therapy lol!). Have been out and about a fair bit, and am really feeling quite normal now even tho I'm still bleeding a fair amount. Not quite strong enough to carry the carseat about or lift the pushchair chassis tho, thank god hubby's off for another 2 weeks! Have buckled and ended up giving Zach a dummy the last 2 nights as he's been such hard work in the evenings, crying for no reason, and also he started to suck his fingers which I didn't want him to start doing!

What's everyone up to this weekend? We've no plans really, so nice hubby being off work, just taking each day as it comes! Will try and post more and keep up better!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh and I'm gonna be an aunt again! My sis had her 12 week scan yesterday and has a perfect little bun in her oven! Is it weird that I'm envious that she has all her pregnancy and birth etc ahead of her, it's all so lovely.....I'm already thinking I want to do it again!

 

[baileybubs]

Not weird at all Hun, as you know I've felt exactly the same since Emilia was born lol!

Glad to hear how well it's all going. And don't beat yourself up about the dummy, I was the same. Didn't want one but df and mil insisted and it was actually a lifesaver. Although now not so much coz she's learnt how to take it out but not put it back in!!

You are doing so well with the expressing Hun, better than I did, I wish I'd tried harder to be honest.
