Sounds silly to ask but as my pet is growing im finding it uncomfortable to sit and go properly. Constipation bhi ho raha hai these days. How are you all managing this? any tips na?
Acidity and constipation can get worse with thyroid issues, which I had during my pregnancy. Keep tracking your thyroid levels with regular doctor follow-ups, and try using a step stool for comfort in the toilet.
Stop straining in the toilet, it is really bad for you. Use a Western seat, raise your legs slightly on a stool, and drink plenty of water throughout the day. It's that simple, no need to overcomplicate.
Beta, don't worry, just make sure you aren't squatting if it feels painful or heavy. Keep a small stool in front of your Western commode to rest your feet; it aligns everything perfectly. Take care of yourself.
My mother-in-law advised me to completely avoid squatting in Indian toilets during the third trimester. I asked my doctor and she agreed, recommending Western toilets to avoid any accidental slips. So I switched and felt much safer.
Drink warm water first thing in the morning and eat soaked prunes, it really helps with smooth toilet visits. But if you have painful piles or bleeding, don't ignore it and ask your doctor immediately.
Please take it very easy and be extremely gentle with your body right now. Try to use a Western toilet and keep a small footstool to elevate your knees, which helps naturally without any straining. Sending you so much love and strength.
In our house, mummyji insisted I only use the Western toilet after my fifth month to avoid putting pressure on the lower belly. Honestly, it was actually very comfortable, especially if you keep a small plastic stool under your feet.
Please do not strain at all while passing stool, it's not safe. If you are having severe constipation or pain, talk to your gynac before trying any home remedies. Safety first always.
