Since last few weeks my stomach feels so heavy and bloated, things just not moving like before. Someone said its very common in pregnancy but i didnt expect it this early. Just trying to understand why it happens now.
I dealt with it using soaked raisins, papaya, lots of water and a daily walk. The hormones just slow everything down. But if you get pain or bleeding with it, please tell your doctor.
It's basically harder, less frequent stools, very common in pregnancy because hormones slow the gut and iron tablets add to it. Fibre, fruits, water and walking help a lot. If it's really stuck, ask your gynac for a safe option.
Constipation in pregnancy is basically your gut going on a slow motion strike haha. The iron tablets made mine worse honestly. Prunes, water and walking became my survival kit.
