Im in my 6th week and suddenly everything is so slow in that department, never had this issue before. is this a pregnancy thing or just me? thoda uncomfortable honestly.
Yes very much, hormones slow down digestion plus the iron tablets make it worse. Both my pregnancies I had it. Drink lots of water, eat fibre and fruits, and walk daily, that helps a lot.
It's a known symptom, the hormone progesterone relaxes the gut so things move slower, and iron supplements add to it. My doctor told me to increase fibre, water and gentle activity. If it gets really bad she said she'd suggest something safe, dont take random laxatives on your own.
I felt so uncomfortable with this in early weeks, I didnt expect it. Turns out it's super common in pregnancy. More water and fruits like papaya, oh wait not papaya, I mean things like figs and chikoo helped me.
Yes beta this happens a lot. Soaked raisins and figs in the morning, and warm water help nicely, we always did this. If it's troubling you a lot, just mention to your doctor for something safe.
Totally a pregnancy thing. Oats, fruits, lots of water and a morning walk fixed it for me mostly. But if you have severe pain or bleeding with it, dont ignore, check with your gynac.
