People. I have always had dodgy bowels. When I was about 11 I was hospitalised with a blockage because I think I must just have lazy guts. I get a bit bunged up quite often but im used to it. When i was preggers it got worse but was still manageable. However, the past 2 days I have been in agony....

I get a bit bunged up quite often but im used to it. When i was preggers it got worse but was still manageable. However, the past 2 days I have been in agony. I'm bloated (I look like ive got a football under my skin) in pain (from under my boobs to my pelvis) and when i walk / move in any way I feel like my insides are crushed and takes my breath away. I'm ok if I'm still, standing or sitting but every time I have to get up to go to the printer / loo / kitchen I feel like screaming!

Took some Senocot last night to try and ease it (I never normally take anything) and am drinking loads of water but nothing has moved. Had some gas in the night (beautiful!) but no actual movement.

PLease help me. I hardly slept last night I was so uncomfortable. I'm currently drinking a milky coffee in the hope that will loosen things up!

I have a terrible fear of pooing anywhere other than my own home but I would happily go at work right now if I could!

    They look like evening primrose capsules, but are squishy, for want of a better word. Honestly, I was worried, but it was all needless...it was easy to do and if I was in your situation I wouldn't think twice as it definitely worked. It's what they give for patients to use just prior to a colonoscopy, as it ensures that all your tubes are clear.

    You can buy suppositories from the pharmacy.

    Are you eating lots of fibre? The only thing that got me going was all bran on cereal everyday.
