Im struggling with bad constipation for many days now and have to push a lot. Now im worried ki itna strain baby ko toh affect nahi karega? Is this actually harmful or im just overthinking?
Don't worry, it doesn't harm the little foodie inside! But it definitely ruins your appetite for delicious snacks. Try having papaya (if allowed by doc) or prunes to keep things moving.
If constipation could harm the baby, my little one would have been in trouble long ago! My stomach is a permanent balloon right now. Just eat some fiber and don't strain too hard.
I used to panic so much thinking my hard straining would hurt the baby! But my gynac laughed and reassured me that the baby is completely safe and cushioned inside. Just drink lots of water.
It doesn't harm the baby, but severe constipation can cause piles, which means extra doctor visits and medicine expenses later. Better to manage it naturally with high-fiber food and plenty of liquids.
I am planning to conceive soon and this is a major worry of mine too. Does straining too much during constipation affect the baby in any way? Good to know what others went through.
