Im 5 months and the constipation is just getting worse, it actually hurts when i go to washroom now. Drinking water and trying to eat more fruits but still no relief. What foods or simple things helped u all? dont want to take anything without asking my gynac.
Beta, soak a few munakka and figs overnight and eat in the morning, it worked for all of us. Warm water on empty stomach also helps move things. For anything stronger always ask the doctor.
My family always said eat more fibre, ragi and lots of veggies, and it genuinely helped me. A spoon of ghee in warm milk at night too. But if nothing works, your doctor can suggest something safe.
Omg the constipation is real, I felt so uncomfortable. Did adding more water and prunes help others too? My gynac told me to up my fibre and it slowly got better.
Constipation is so common with the iron tablets. Drink loads of water, eat papaya, soaked figs and lots of fibre. If it's really stuck dont take any laxative on your own, ask your gynac for a safe one.
