Im around 11 weeks and constipation is really bad these days, pet feels so heavy and uncomfortable. My MIL keeps saying take something but I dont want to take anything without knowing. Anyone faced this and what did ur gynac say?
Don't take random laxatives from the medical store without asking your doc. Focus on high-fiber foods, apples, and walking first. If nothing works, just call your gynac and get a safe prescription.
Mere saath bhi bohot constipation problem thi. My mother told me to put a spoon of pure ghee in warm milk before sleeping. It is natural and helped me clear my stomach easily without any heavy medicines.
Having PCOS made my pregnancy journey very delicate, so I never took any medicine without checking. Even for mild constipation, please consult your gynac first because some laxatives can cause dehydration.
I faced horrible constipation but was too scared to take any over the counter laxatives. I just relied on soaked raisins, lots of water, and warm milk at night. It worked slowly but felt much safer for me.
My gynac clearly told me that some laxatives are safe but others can cause uterine contractions. So please don't self-medicate. Call your doctor and they will prescribe a safe syrup or powder according to your trimester.
