Constipation has become a big problem for me since I got pregnant, it's so uncomfortable. I'm looking for some natural ways or diet changes that can help me reduce it. What worked for you ladies?
Oh god, the constipation struggle is so real, I used to count tiles in my bathroom! Honestly, drinking warm water first thing in the morning and eating fiber was my only savior. Do try to walk a bit, it literally moves things along.
Oh sweetie, I totally understand how uncomfortable and draining this must be for you. Please don't strain at all, just try to drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits like apples and pears. Sending you lots of love.
Keep it simple: cut down on maida and heavy foods completely. Drink at least 3 liters of water daily and eat a bowl of papaya or high-fiber oats. Walking for 15 minutes after meals also helps digestion a lot.
I see this question a lot, and the best way is to add green leafy veggies and whole grains to your daily diet. Also, try having a glass of warm milk with a little ghee at night. It works like magic for most moms!
Please be careful and don't take any over-the-counter laxatives or try heavy remedies without asking your gynac. I had some spotting due to severe straining, and my doctor immediately gave me a safe stool softener. Just check with your doc first.
