Period is 4 days late and ive been really constipated this whole week which is not normal for me. Trying not to get my hopes up but my mind is already racing. Could this be an early sign or just my gut acting up?
Yes its quite common in pregnancy because of progesterone, both my times I was bloated and constipated early on. But its not a reliable sign by itself. If your period is late, just take a test instead of guessing from this.
It is listed as a possible early symptom yeah, my app mentioned it. But it overlaps with so many normal things. The only real confirmation is a pregnancy test after a missed period.
Hormones do cause sluggish digestion early in pregnancy, so for some women yes. But plenty of women get constipated for other reasons too. Drink lots of water and add fibre, and if your period is late take a home test to be sure.
It can be one of the early signs, the hormones slow down digestion. But honestly so many things cause constipation that it alone cant confirm anything. Did you have other signs too like missed period? I kept second guessing every little thing when I was waiting to test.
