The cold and straw does help. During the proceedure if you do feel a bit of discomfort bear down (as if trying to break wind) - I was told this by the nurse during an uncomfortable bit and it honestly helped. But over all it was not bad at all, certainly not painful

Thanks for replying and for the advice... I'm thinking chilled prep is the way to go 👍🤞

Also thanks for the bare down advice... Hope I won't need it! 😂 😂

Hopefully I'll be giving you all positive feedback tomorrow night xx

My MIL has told me (on numerous occasions) that the prep is the worst bit, I thought in the beginning that she was just enjoying winding me up but now I realise it's just the truth 😳😂

I think I'll go for the gas instead of the sedation, I like to think il tougher than I look! 😂 😂

Thanks again 🙏

SOOOOOOO

I survived the 1st round of prep... yes the drink is disgusting but i have to admit as a teenager i've drank worse! LOL

The passing of basically everything my body would allow ended about 11.30pm after i'd caught up on MAFSUK and I honestly had one of the best sleeps ever until a gurgling tummy woke me at 4am and the trips to the toilet started again until i started my second prep at 6am... never been so glad for having 3 toilets in our house EVER! LOL

Anyway onwards and upwards... half way through 2nd prep and i'll hopefully get another nap before heading to the Hospital at 12ish...

Hope you all have a magical day and i'll keep you all posted :-)
