I felt so uncomfortable with constipation during my pregnancy, it was really hard. What finally gave me some relief was eating a lot of fibre-rich foods like oats and apples, and drinking warm water first thing in the morning. Also, a little walk helped get things moving.
Haan, constipation becomes common in pregnancy, child. Try to drink warm water with a bit of honey in the morning. Eating ripened bananas and soaking a few figs overnight to eat in the morning can also help. But if it becomes too painful, then you must consult your doctor.
Beti, many women face this in pregnancy, don't worry. Just try to drink lots of water through the day, aur khaane mein sabzi aur phall zyada lena. Thoda subah walk karne se bhi farak padta hai. Bahut dard ho toh doctor ko zaroor batana.
Oh, my MIL always stressed having enough ghee in your food and eating seasonal fruits for digestion during pregnancy. She made sure I ate lots of leafy greens too. And definitely drink water. These small changes really helped me with constipation.
Constipation is really common. I had gestational diabetes, so I had to be very careful with my diet. Focus on increasing your fiber intake through whole grains, fruits, and veggies, but always check their glycemic index. And drink plenty of water. If it's persistent, definitely talk to your doctor about safe options.
It's quite common, don't fret. First, increase your water intake significantly. Then, add more roughage to your diet: things like whole wheat roti, dals, and plenty of fruits and vegetables. A short walk daily also helps. If these don't work, talk to your gynac for a mild laxative that's safe.
