What to do when you have constipation during pregnancy?
Ugh this has become my biggest problem since I hit the second trimester. Iron tablets made it worse I think. What worked for you all to get some relief naturally?
Beta this is so common in pregnancy. Soak a few raisins or figs overnight and eat in the morning, it helped all the women in our house. But dont take any strong laxative on ur own, ask the doctor for that.
More water, more fibre, that is the basic fix. I ate papaya, soaked figs and lots of veggies and it helped a lot. A little walking gets things moving too, dont sit all day.
Constipation troubled me a lot. I added more fibre but had to be mindful with fruits since I had GD. Veggies, salads and plenty of water worked without spiking my sugar. If nothing helps, ask ur doctor for a safe option.
