Another laugh out loud moment,

farm, constipation - word association lol.

Have been - it seems to come and go, lots of fruit to combat!! x x

I can't comment on most of the other things that have been mentioned in the past few days, because this thread moves so fast that I've kinda given up responding to everything, except:

a) I'm trying to keep up with the chocolate intake that my wife is desperate to continue. if I eat loads then she won't feel so bad about eating loads too!

b) snoopytweety really does live in a farm (and adding a baby to that list will turn the farm into a proper zoo)!

c) whilst watching tv last night, I felt the baby moving for the first time, from the outside. I mean, my wife's been saying she can feel things for a while, but I've never actually been able to feel anything.

So, it really is happening

Well it just came to me so thought I'd ask. No matter what I do I seem to be constipated. It's really painful.

Lola - I would love to sneak to hospital and have baby in peace but I need to tell someone as my boys will need looking after!! I'm not having visitors at hospital this time as I'm hoping to come out ASAP!! X

Snoopy - wow you must be busy with all your animals!! X

Happydays - I have been constipated since I was around 12 weeks!! Bl@@dy annoying!! X

Don't really know what to suggest - have you tried brown bread and prunes etc? Too much diet coke always loosens me up, as does anything like diet polo's etc??? x x

It's already a zoo lol, DH is great though and already does a lot of the jobs, so I don't feel like I have too much on my plate.

DH shed a tear when he got to feel baby move for the first time, now he has reached the stage where it freaks him out a little sometimes asI make him feel when she is sticking a hand or foot out and he thinks it is ewwwwwww in his words lol x

Yes it is. By the time I've sat on the toilet for 20 mins and come out in a cold sweat I feel like I've done a full body workout. It's utterly ridiculous!!

Whowants2brich - yay for you feeling baby move. I bet you have a big wide grin today. It's lovely isn't it.

Yea I've tried brown bread but not prunes. They are evil!! Im drinking copious amounts of fruit juice aswell. I may have to resort to all bran but last time it had the opposite effect and I'm terrified of going into labour with diarrhoea.

I found cauliflower helps with bowel movement! But that's just me...
