Im barely 6 weeks and already feeling so blocked up, didn't expect this so early. Is it normal to start this soon or am I imagining a connection? anyone else faced it early on?
I am planning to conceive soon and honestly, I am quite nervous about these digestive issues. Does it really start right from the first few weeks itself, or is it later?
It can start as early as the first month because of hormonal changes and iron tablets. My advice is to eat high-fiber food like oats and drink plenty of warm water. Simple home changes work best, but ask your doctor if it's too bad.
I felt so bloated and uncomfortable around my 8th week, it was honestly very frustrating. I literally cried one day because of the heavy feeling in my stomach. Please take care and talk to your doctor if it gets painful.
For me, constipation started almost immediately in my 6th week, thanks to progesterone! I just delivered recently and can tell you that staying hydrated and eating prunes helped a lot. Keep moving a bit if your doctor allows.
I have heard from my friends that it can start quite early in the first trimester itself. It must be so uncomfortable to deal with. Hopefully, drinking extra water and eating fresh fruits can keep it in control.
