Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced this...... I was very regular before being pregnant.  Through my pregnancy I got extremelt constipated (normal I know) to the point of needing an enema at 27 weeks.  I also had to take senokot, metamucil, prunes every day in order to go once every two to three days. 

Problem is I have never returned to normal regularity and my baby is nearly two.  I am becoming extremely frustrated with this.  I try drinking lots of water, take senokot as an absolute last resort (once a fortnight if I just cant take it anymore)  I eat muesli every morning, try to eat fibre foods but just cant stay regular.  I am only going once every two to 3 days again with maybe a pellet somewhere in between (sorry for the imagery)

Is this something I will just have to come to terms with? Has my body changed that much from pregnancy?  Or is there anything more I can do?

Know a little? Give an answer Know a lot? Write some advice
