I'm Currently Feeling:  |  Constipation!!! Ahh!!
Okay I hate to say it but I am up to here (points right above head) with constipation! I am eating fiber, Activia..that yogurt that helps keep you normal, and the Lactulose the doc has me on! But still I cant seem to keep regular. After a few days I get real bad abdominal cramps and I dont even like to walk around because it hurts so bad! Last week thought I was going to keel over so I went to the doc and thats when she gave me the meds. Anyone else having problems? Im only 15 weeks! I hope this doesnt last the whole pregnancy!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | You could try drinking loads of hot water with lemon juice... I guess it helps to bring on intestinal contractions that help you to go. I did drink a mug of warm water with lemon juice once and it definitely helped me, so it might work for you, too. |
