    Given Im 7 months pregnant & it is quite normal in pregnancy to have issues, no I shouldnt be aiming for anything other than what I have thank you :)

    and something unflushable is NOT normal!!! EVER!!
    So constipation is more common in pregnancy. That doesn't mean it should be accepted as the normal state of things. And what exactly do you mean by unflushable? If you mean large formed poos, which is what I assumed you meant, then as long as they are not hard there is nothing wrong with them. The person concerned may wish to try evacuating more frequently for the sake of the toilet though.

    Along similar lines, who finds themselves quite the opposite of constipated at that time of month? :o:p

    to be honest, i have never known and dont now, know anyone who puts them in bins. i never have.

    surely i cannot be the only one?

    should i change my ways?


    I use a bin and always have. Have often been on septic tanks/private ...making people more responsible for their ''rubbish'' is one way to get them to take it seriously!

    That's not uncommon (and quite normal).

    My husband works for a big building company that build social housing. There always seem to be problems with people in their nice new houses flushing nappies down the loo. Who would do that? I didn't realise the problems that tampons caused by flushing, I will try to bin them in future.

    I love how we got from ST's to poo :rotfl:

    I'm glad it's normal to be 'not constipated' at the TOTM. I thought I was weird :o

    I have to agree with muckybutt about binning not flushing. My son (only just out of his teenage years) works for a drainage company and sanitary wear is notorious for causing blockages along with fat.
    Some weeks he can work 90 hours, especially when it's rained heavily so when he does get a day off I think he is entitled to a good lie in.

    I'm sure you didn't mean an almost policeman holding up a stop sign but that's what popped into my head :o

    I hope that it doesn't give you too much grief xx
