Hi and congrats on the pregnancy! I bet you are looking forward to your first scan - it really is magic to see that little heartbeat and wriggly legs! I'm just coming up for 12 weeks now. I'm and IBS C and used to get so many attacks it put me off becoming a Mum, but in the end we took the plunge and in my case the first 8 weeks of the pregnancy my IBS seemed almost to have gone, apart from falling asleep at 9.30 at night I felt great! A bit of morning sickness has now set in and I've just had my second IBS attack of the pregnancy. Basically my bowel is lazier than ever and managing it is already a struggle - I'm not sure what's going to happen by the time we get to December / January and I'm the size of a small country My doc has told me to go easy on the laxatives as they can cause spasms of the gut and uterus. The next 6 months are going to be a real balancing act. If anyone out there has any tips for me I'd be very grateful. On the morning sickness side of things thin arrowroot biscuits (cookies) can be really nice when you don't feel like eating much
