IBS and labour 😩

I had an unmedicated birth with my daughter when I was 19. I was fairly naive and was also younger and obviously my body was in better condition than it is now being 34.

I have since struggles severely with intestinal issues similarly to IBS-C and sibo.

I have relied on restoralax etc for any bowel function but still spend 90% of my time in severe pain and cramping and bloating with gas and severe constipation.

I am having a lot of anxiety with the idea of labour when I already have such severe pain and discomfort on a daily basis, adding that I’m also older, I also now have an anxiety disorder and I was on bed rest two months and am now out of shape.

I wondered if anyone had any tips on what I could do to help prepare me in the next few weeks ( I’m 33 weeks) whether it me mentally, physically or dietary; keep in mind I am plant based and do not consume animal protein. ( no I do not have problems getting enough protein)

I would appreciate any help I can get!
