Don’t worry about the runs, you are pregnant, don’t expect your body to work like it once did.

I am almost 25weeks, and ive suffered with constipation during my pregnancy since about 16weeks. I have never used milk of magnesia, i first started with lactose syrup but it didn’t help, just created alot of wind, i contemplated taking senna, but paid a visit to my Doctor instead, who did not recommend taking senna at all during pregnancy as its a bowel stimulant, and could cause issues with baby too. So he gave me Movicol, which is a powder you mix with water, i take one a day now and am fairly regular now, although i must admit, i do tend to have diarrhea and need to visit the loo with urgency, depending what i’ve eaten. But to me its much better than the stomach cramps i was getting with the constipation, that was agony!
