Is anyone else having trouble pooing???
I was just wondering if the straining will have any bad affect on baby??

Whatever you do, DON'T STRAIN. You'll get piles/heamorroids. Eat lots of fibre and drink plenty of water. If that doesn't help, pop to the docs!

Hadn't had this problem myself but agree with toria, straining is not good. I have heard that apple juice is a good natural laxative.

I have had this, and I still find it quite sore to go sometimes. Plus, sometimes I don't go for 3-4 days still. Apples didn't work for me. Cereal did.

If you dont go soon, id advise getting something to help you go its pretty painful if you dont.

I Had this really bad still do. It got to 3 weeks and i hadn't been my body started rejecting food cause i got so clogged up went the doctor he told me i shouldnt have left it so long done a blood test and i had toxions in my blood from back log had tablets for a few weeks cause of this and gave me lactulose which is mild lacitives and i take once a week to clear back log aswell as fibre gel. Which can be bought over the counter and is just a drink thats full of fibre and is harmless. Before taking anything else I would consult your doc as each person is diff. But bear in mind when i went doc with this problem he gave me an examination of back passage. Lets just say i no longer own anything below my neck :-) Good Luck xx

O my im worried i feel this way too. I just cant seem to go to the toilet and now i feel like i cant eat, i feel full all the time. I am eating less now im 3 months gone than ever!! I might consider taking a trip to the docs myself

Loss of appitite is a pregnancy symptom, I wouldn't get too worried about it. I would see a doctor though!

i wouldnt worry to much just book an appointment at the doc :-) I was really ill at this stage not just not able to eat sorry, anything i put in my body was coming straight out. Dont worry to much like i say everyone diff. Good Luck let me know how you go and if you manage to go :-) But no glory details :-) x
