My stomach is so tight and I am struggling in the bathroom every morning. I drink water but still it feels stuck, sorry tmi. What did you do when constipation was bad?
Try natural remedies first, they usually work for mild cases. Isabgol is good, but take it with plenty of water. Also, soaked black raisins overnight and eating them in the morning. If it's very severe or causes pain, don't delay, ask your doctor for a safe medicine.
Constipation is super common in pregnancy, so don't feel alone! The best natural ways are to drink lots and lots of water, like 8-10 glasses daily, and increase your fiber intake. Think fruits, veggies, whole grains. A small walk also helps keep things moving.
Constipation can sometimes be related to other things like thyroid issues, which can flare up during pregnancy. Apart from increasing fiber and water, please mention it to your gynac during your check-ups. They might want to rule out any underlying causes, or suggest something safe for you.
Yaar, I panicked so much about this in my first trimester! Thought something was seriously wrong. My doc just laughed and said 'it's normal, hormones'. Drink tons of water, eat fruits like papaya and guavas. It gets better, just hang in there.
Been there, done that twice! Simple rule: Water, water, water. And fiber. Eat a big fruit salad everyday, include prunes or figs. If it's still bad, your doctor can give you a mild, safe stool softener. Don't suffer in silence.
Subah uth ke ek glass gunguna pani piyo. Din bhar paani peete raho. Ek apple aur ek banana roz kha lo, aur apne khane mein thoda sa ghee daalo. Yeh sab chote chote cheezein bohot madad karti hain.
Increased progesterone during pregnancy slows down digestion, so constipation is very common. Focus on fluids and dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If these aren't enough, your gynac can prescribe a gentle laxative that's safe for pregnancy. Don't self-medicate.
I remember struggling with constipation even after delivery, not just during pregnancy! Hydration is key – keep a water bottle always handy. And incorporate high-fiber foods slowly into your diet. Small, frequent meals can also help sometimes. Take it easy.
Oh, the pregnancy constipation struggle is so real! It can be really uncomfortable and painful. Just know you're not alone in this. Try warm water first thing in the morning and prunes, they were a lifesaver for me. Be patient with your body.
My saas always used to tell me to have a glass of warm milk with a spoon of ghee before sleeping. She also insisted on eating lots of leafy greens and daliya. Honestly, it did help to some extent, along with plenty of water.
