Just got my positive test last week and already feeling little blocked up. Matlab is it normal this early or does it start later? curious when most of u faced it.
I had terrible constipation right after my delivery too, and it brought back all the pregnancy memories. It can start very early in the first trimester itself. Your body is going through so much, so please be gentle on yourself.
I am in my 5th month and dealing with this right now! Does it get better in the third trimester, or does it become worse? I am trying to eat more fruits but nothing seems to work.
Honestly, constipation can hit you right from the first trimester, thanks to progesterone and those heavy iron tablets. Just load up on fiber, drink tons of water, and don't let it sit. If it gets too painful, ask your doctor for a safe laxative.
With twins, my digestive system basically went on strike from week 6! Constipation can happen anytime, but the third trimester is a different level. Just keep drinking water like a fish and hope for the best!
Oh sweetheart, I totally understand how frustrating and painful this can be. It usually starts early on and can happen throughout the journey. Just take it easy, eat thoda papaya if your doctor allows, and know that you are doing great.
Look, constipation is extremely common in both early and late pregnancy. Stop eating maida completely and switch to whole grains. If your prenatal iron pills are causing it, ask your doctor to change the brand instead of suffering.
In our family, we use warm milk with a little ghee at night to help with digestion. It usually happens in the first and third trimesters. But if you feel too much pain or bloating, always consult your doctor first, ma.
I started getting bad constipation in my second trimester, and it is so uncomfortable. I always feel anxious while going to the washroom. Does anyone else also feel this way, or is it just me?
It usually starts in the first trimester because hormones slow down your gut, and can get worse in the third trimester as the baby grows. Try having high-fiber foods like oats and prunes. But please don't take any over-the-counter laxatives without asking your doctor first.
It can happen anytime, dear, especially in the early months. Drinking warm water first thing in the morning helped me a lot. Please take care of yourself.
