Esha Dwivedi · Answer

Oh, I completely remember that struggle! It felt never-ending. What really helped me was increasing my fluid intake drastically and including prunes or figs in my daily diet. If it's really severe and making you uncomfortable, definitely tell your doctor. They might suggest something gentle to provide relief, but it will pass eventually, just like the pregnancy pains!

Ugh, constipation is no fun at all, especially when pregnant! 😩 Drink tons of water, like seriously, keep a bottle handy all the time. Also, add lots of fiber-rich foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains. If it's severe, definitely tell your gynac, they can suggest safe mild laxatives. Hang in there! ✨

Beti, kabz toh garbhavastha mein aam baat hai. Pehle toh paani khoob piyo aur ghar mein jo fibre wali cheezein hain, jaise sabzi, phal, daal, woh khoob khao. Raat ko sone se pehle ek chamach isabgol paani ke saath le sakti ho. Agar bahut zyada takleef ho, toh doctor se zaroor poochna, woh sahi dawai batayenge.

Ho na, constipation is such a pain during pregnancy! Try to drink warm water first thing in the morning, that sometimes helps. Also, add some psyllium husk (isabgol) to your diet with water or dahi, it's very gentle. But if it's really severe, please talk to your gynac, they can give you specific medicine, haan na.

Constipation during pregnancy is truly awful. I struggled with it too, and it can be even worse post C-section recovery. For severe cases, don't suffer in silence. Your gynac can prescribe safe stool softeners or laxatives. Besides that, plenty of water and fiber from fruits and veggies are your best friends. Don't push or strain too much.
