I had truckloads of kiwicrush - can't recommend it highly enough. Next time I am going to stock up before having the baby!]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 13:15:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1021448&title=constipated#1021448 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1021377&title=constipated#1021377 Author: crafty1

I had the same problem after a c-section so know how uncomfortable it can be - I was in tears one night from it. The best thing that worked for me was Kiwifruit juice - I had Nekta Kiwifruit juice found in the juice section at the supermarket.

I also had lactulose at the hospital - it is a syrupy type liquid. I am pretty sure your MW can prescribe more as my MW offered it when I got home (I think it needs a prescription but I could be wrong, you may be able to get from the pharmacy?).

very common after childbirth, just what you need!
I had this and found kiwi crush really good, and heaps of water and trying to walk a bit. This was tricky as i had a c section, keeping moving as much as you can.]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 08:36:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020493&title=constipated#1020493 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020482&title=constipated#1020482 Author: MamaT

Make sure you're drinking plenty of water too]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 08:22:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020482&title=constipated#1020482 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020346&title=constipated#1020346 Author: High9

Kiwicrush, you get it from the supermarket. That's what my midwife recommended to me.

Or Coloxyl, my gran takes that lol ]]> Sat, 08 May 2010 20:32:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020346&title=constipated#1020346 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33302&PID=1020240&title=constipated#1020240 Author: Mucky_Tiger

you can try the likes of metamucil or fibresecure or phloe (this is kiwifruit though)

or coloxyl and senna tablets from the chemist, they are a softener and a mild laxative. take 2 at night and u should go ok in the morning.
