I'm in my first trimester and feeling a bit constipated and bloated. I want to know if there are any safe and gentle ways to clean my stomach during pregnancy. Should I be concerned about this feeling?
Same here, my stomach feels so heavy! I've started having soaked prunes and high fiber salads, which helps a bit. What are you guys eating to keep bowel movements smooth?
Actually, constipation is the worst part of pregnancy yaar! Don't even think of taking any random over the counter laxative. Just load up on water, walk a bit, and ask your gynac if you need a safe syrup.
I have heard that drinking warm water in the morning helps a lot with stomach clearing naturally. It's better to avoid any heavy medicines or local herbs without asking.
Sweetie, never take any strong laxatives or 'churan' during pregnancy as they can be unsafe. Just drink lots of warm water, eat fiber-rich food like oats, apples, and green veggies. If it's too bad, please ask your gynac first.
I am struggling so much with constipation in my 2nd trimester! I just eat papaya (ripe one, my doc allowed) and drink warm milk at night. Is anyone else also scared of straining too much?
