To get quick relief, increase your fiber intake immediately with oats, fruits, and lots of water. For a safe medical solution, ask your gynac to prescribe a mild syrup like lactulose. Avoid taking any over-the-counter laxatives on your own.

Oh, pregnancy constipation is the worst! Try eating a few soaked prunes or drinking lots of warm water throughout the day. It really helps to keep things moving. 🥤

I know how frustrating and uncomfortable this feels, sweetie, it can really ruin your day. Try taking small walks and increasing your water intake, it naturally helps the bowels. Be kind to yourself, this phase will pass.

My saas made me drink a glass of warm milk with a spoon of ghee at bedtime, and it worked wonders for my constipation. Also, try to eat high-fiber foods during the day. If it still doesn't clear up, please ask your doctor instead of straining.

Beta, you should drink a glass of lukewarm water first thing in the morning and eat soaked figs (anjeer). Avoid heavy, dry foods and eat simple khichdi. If the problem continues and causes pain, do consult your doctor.

I recently delivered and faced this badly. What worked for me immediately was having warm water with lemon in the morning, and eating papaya (only if fully ripe and your doctor allows it!). If it's too painful, ask your doctor for a safe stool softener.
