few days before period and im super constipated which never usually happens to me before periods. now im wondering if it could mean something. did anyone notice this as an early sign?
Funny enough I felt bloated and constipated before I even tested. It was one of my first hints. But honestly the test is what told me for sure, constipation alone can be from many things.
It can be an early sign because hormones slow down digestion, but it's not the most reliable one. Missed period and a positive test are what really confirm. Lots of water and fibre helped my constipation a lot.
My gynac said yes, the progesterone hormone relaxes the gut and can cause constipation early on. But she said don't treat it as proof, it happens for non pregnant reasons too. Confirm with a test.
It can be, some of us feel the tummy slow down early. Drink plenty water, eat fruits and warm food, it eases. But to be sure you are pregnant, do the test once period is missed.
