Been drinking 2 glasses milk daily since my doc said i need calcium, but the constipation has gotten really bad. Now im wondering if the milk itself is the reason. Anyone else faced this?
Haan na, constipation in pregnancy is so annoying, ho na! Milk can sometimes make it worse for some people because of slow digestion. Try adding some soaked raisins or fiber to your diet, and drink warm water throughout the day. It really helps to clear the stomach.
Yes, excessive milk can definitely worsen constipation because dairy is heavy to digest when your hormones are already slowing things down. Cut down the milk intake and focus on high-fiber foods like oats, apples, and plenty of water. Also, don't skip your walk after meals, it keeps things moving.
Is that actually true? I am planning to conceive soon and I already have a mild constipation issue sometimes, so this is good to know! Does warm milk with ghee actually help, or should we avoid milk completely during those months? Let me know what worked for you guys!
Oh, my toddler is running around now, but I still remember how badly constipated I was in my pregnancy! I noticed that drinking too much cold milk made it worse for me. Try switching to warm milk or reduce the quantity for a few days to see if it helps, don't worry, it gets better!
I am in my 18th week and experiencing terrible constipation, and I drink a glass of milk every morning! I never thought milk could be the reason. Did anyone else here feel more constipated after having milk? What did you switch to instead?
Yes, dear, sometimes milk can cause constipation during pregnancy, especially with the iron tablets we take. Don't worry, just try having warm milk with a spoon of ghee at night. It acts as a natural laxative and will help clear your stomach easily. Take care of yourself.
