Constipation has become a major issue for me since I got pregnant, and it's causing a lot of discomfort. What are some effective and gentle ways to solve the constipation problem during pregnancy? I need some relief urgently.
Adding active fiber like green veggies to my diet helped a lot. I also did mild walking for 15 minutes after meals, which really helped my digestion, but only do this if your doctor has allowed physical activity.
Ghar ke simple nuskhe work best for this. Just have high-fiber food like daliya, oats, and lots of water. You can also try a spoon of isabgol with warm water at night.
Constipation can worsen if thyroid levels are off, which happened in my case. Do mention this to your doctor during your next follow-up. They can safely prescribe a mild syrup if natural things don't work.
Oh, the pregnancy constipation was the absolute worst! Looking back, what saved me was eating soaked raisins and drinking lots of warm water first thing in the morning. Hang in there, it gets better!
