difficult bowel movement

Hi hi, a quick question and sorry to ask, but who else has trouble with pooping? Sometimes I sit on the toilet for more than 10 minutes and nothing comes out, and then my butt really hurts. I do feel like I need to go though, and does anyone know something that makes it easier? Sorry again for the question.

Best wishes and love, Bianca

    Hi Bianca,
    That's a very common complaint, unfortunately. Make sure you drink plenty of water (actually small sips throughout the day) and eat lots of fiber (brown bread). It'll get better on its own.

    If you're really struggling, you can always consult your GP for something laxative.

    Lots of water, indeed. For me, broken flaxseeds and flaxseed oil helped, for example mixed into the yogurt. Taking a tablespoon of olive oil also works wonders. If it still doesn't get better, then talk to your midwife/GP/gynecologist. Get well soon!
