Constipation is killing me yaar, im 24 weeks and it just wont get better even with water and fruits. Want to know what safe options others used. Not asking for exact medicine, just ur experience pls.
I totally understand how uncomfortable and painful constipation can be during this time, sweetie. It is so hard on your body. Please speak to your doctor about safe syrup options, and drink lots of warm water to soothe yourself.
Constipation is so common during pregnancy due to iron tablets, I went through it too! Now that my baby is a toddler, I can tell you it's just a temporary phase. Talk to your gynac, they usually prescribe a mild, safe syrup.
When I had constipation, my mom gave me soaked prunes and warm milk with a little ghee at night. It worked naturally for me. If you need a proper medicine, please ask your doctor instead of self-medicating.
I don't want to suggest any specific stool softener because medicine safety varies for everyone. Personally, my doctor prescribed me a lactulose syrup which really helped, but please consult your own gynac for what is safe for you.
Ugh, pregnancy constipation is the absolute worst, but don't stress too much! Try eating fiber-rich food and drink tons of water. If that doesn't work, just text your gynac for a safe stool softener syrup.
Usually, doctors prescribe lactulose-based syrups as they are considered safe during pregnancy. However, never buy any stool softener over the counter. Make sure to increase your fiber intake and consult your doctor first.
