Constipation has become so bad since 2nd trimester, it gets really hard and painful. Drinking water and all but not helping much. What did u ladies do for this? need some real tips yaar.
Along with fiber, a simple 20-minute daily walk really helps stimulate your digestion, but only if your doctor has allowed physical activity. It worked wonders for my constipation.
Increase your soluble fiber intake with apples, prunes, and green veggies, and drink at least 3 liters of water. If lifestyle changes don't help, ask your doctor for a safe stool softener syrup that is suitable in pregnancy.
I was reading that eating soaked raisins in the morning really helps with bowel movements naturally. Maybe you could try that gentle remedy? Hope you feel better soon.
Sometimes thyroid issues can make constipation worse, so make sure your levels are checked. For softening stool, my doctor suggested eating fiber-rich food and drinking warm water. Keep your doctor updated on this.
In my pregnancy, eating a bowl of ripe papaya (only if allowed by your doc) or high-fiber bran flakes every morning helped me stay regular. I just avoided processed foods completely.
Constipation is common but please don't strain, as it can cause a lot of pelvic pressure. Drink plenty of water and eat oats. If it gets very bad, contact your doctor immediately instead of taking random laxatives.
Haan, ye problem toh sabko hoti hai. Roz raat ko garam doodh mein thoda sa ghee daal kar piyo na, pet ekdum saaf ho jayega. Aur din bhar pani khoob piyo.
