Arey, it's the worst because it ruins all the fun of eating! Try eating papaya (only if fully ripe and doctor allowed) or high-fiber oats to keep things moving.
My gynac explained that iron supplements and high progesterone relax the bowel muscles, leading to constipation. She advised me to eat high-fiber foods and drink 3 liters of water daily.
It's so hard when you have nausea and can't even drink enough water, which makes constipation worse. Try having thoda warm milk with ghee at night, it's very gentle.
Ugh, blame the progesterone hormone which slows down your gut to a crawl! Honestly, my digestive system went to sleep and still hasn't fully woken up after delivery.
Yes, but instead of buying expensive laxatives, try simple dietary changes first. Save that money because those hospital delivery charges are no joke later on!
