pigginteacher · Feb 5th, 2010, 10:00 AM

Hi, i seem to be suffering from constipation and trapped wind in this pregnancy and i'm finding it very frustrating. Last night i was in so much pain i barely slept. Anyone else feeling the same and how are u dealing with it? I'm eating fruit and drinking fresh orange juice but still having trouble, any advice would be good x

I'm suffering from that myself. DF is having to follow me around with the febreeze! lol. I've found that Kelloggs raisin wheats are working a treat for me. Not like it used to be but a big improvement! xxx

I had terrible constipation when I was pregnant with my daughter I found grapes, raisins or prunes and custard done the trick for me!

Fybogel! Its a fibre powder you put into water and it makes an orange drink, its natural and completely safe its a GODSEND. You can get it in tesco or a pharmacy its in an orange box xx

I started adding lots whole grains into my diet everyday and it has helped!! Also plumb juice(I know it tastes odd) but it can help also. Know that you aren't suffering alone!
