My period is a few days late and lately my digestion feels off, going to washroom more than usual. Could this be an early sign or am I just reading too much into it? Confused na.
I felt so uncomfortable with constipation in my early weeks, and that's actually when I suspected I was pregnant! Hormones slow down everything. It can definitely be an early sign, but do take a test to be sure.
Yes, progesterone hormones can slow down your digestion, leading to tight stools. I faced this throughout my pregnancy and even postpartum. Try drinking lots of warm water and eating high-fiber foods.
My doctor explained that the high progesterone levels relax the bowel muscles, which causes slow digestion and hard stools. It's a very common early pregnancy symptom. Drink at least 3 liters of water daily to help.
Oh yes, constipation is like the uninvited guest of early pregnancy! 😅 It can definitely be a sign. Make sure you are eating lots of green veggies and drinking water!
I totally understand how frustrating and painful this can feel. Yes, it is very common in early pregnancy. Please don't strain too much and keep yourself hydrated. Sending you a big hug!
It definitely can be a sign! I remember feeling so bloated and constipated even before my missed period. Our bodies go through so many silent changes to prepare for the baby.
Beta, this is very common when a new life is starting inside. Drink warm milk with a little ghee at night, or eat soaked prunes. It will help soften the stool naturally. Take care.
