My tracking app actually showed constipation as a key symptom around week 5 because of the progesterone surge. It helps to log your daily water intake and fiber levels. Try eating small meals and walking a bit after eating.
It is common, but please be careful not to strain too much. I had some spotting issues due to severe constipation early on, so my doctor had to prescribe a mild laxative syrup. Better to check with your gynac once if it is painful.
Haan yaar, absolutely normal symptom! Don't stress too much about it, just load up on water and high-fiber fruits like pear and apples. Aur haan, heavy straining bilkul mat karna toilet me, thoda walk kiya karo evening me.
Oh god, the constipation was real! Looking back now that my son is 2, it seems like a small phase, but back then it was so frustrating. It is super common because of pregnancy hormones slowing down everything, so just hang in there.
Yes, very common. My MIL suggested drinking warm milk with a little ghee at night which helped mild symptoms, but I still confirmed with my doctor during my scan. Gynac said hormonal changes naturally slow the digestion process.
Yes, it is very typical in early pregnancy. Don't worry, your body is just adjusting to the new hormones. Make sure you don't take any over the counter medicines without asking your doctor, okay?
Honestly, I missed my normal bowel movements more than my sleep back then! It is 100% a symptom, thanks to those crazy preggo hormones. Just eat your oats and pray for a smooth morning, haha.
Yes beta, when I was pregnant and staying at my mom's place, this was my very first symptom even before I missed my period. My mother used to give me soaked raisins and warm water every morning to help with it.
I panicked so much thinking something was wrong with my stomach when this happened in my first month! But my doc laughed and said it is just progesterone doing its job. Totally normal, just keep yourself well hydrated.
I am facing this right now in my 8th week and it is literally so painful. Did any of you also feel super bloated along with this? Please share what kind of fiber foods helped u guys pass stool easily.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and frustrating this must be for you, dear. Pregnancy brings so many unexpected changes to our body. Just take deep breaths, drink warm fluids, and know that you are doing great.
