I just found out I might be pregnant, barely a week. I'm already feeling quite constipated, which is unusual for me. Is this a normal thing in the very first week?
Welcome to the glamorous world of pregnancy! It starts in week one and honestly, it decided to stay with me till my 3rd trimester. Just make friends with papaya (if your doctor allows) and green veggies, you'll need them!
I faced this in my very first week and the hospital staff gave me a clear list of high-fiber foods to eat. They advised against taking any over-the-counter laxatives without asking my gynac first. Always check with your doctor before taking any syrup or medicine.
Yes, absolutely! Progesterone hormone levels start rising right after conception and they slow down your digestion big time. Drink lots of water and don't stress too much, it's a very common early sign.
Yes, it is very common in early pregnancy, but please do not strain too much when passing stool. Eat fiber-rich foods like oats and apples, and drink plenty of warm water. Be very gentle with your body right now.
