Never had this issue before but ever since i got pregnant my stomach feels so blocked all the time. Just want to understand kyu hota hai during these months. Is it the hormones or something else?
I'm in my second trimester and already struggling with constipation. Is this normal? It's making me so uncomfortable, and I'm worried it will get worse. Does everyone experience this? What did you all do to get relief? I'm trying to drink water and eat fiber, but it's still hard.
I remember how tough constipation was during my pregnancy, and honestly, it can be even more challenging postpartum, especially after a C-section. It's mostly hormonal and iron supplements. Keep hydrated and include fiber-rich foods like leafy greens and fruits. Your gynac might suggest a stool softener if needed, which helped me.
During pregnancy, constipation is quite common, and sometimes it can be worse if you have other conditions like thyroid issues, which I did. Hormones and iron supplements often play a big role. Do mention it to your doctor during your regular check-ups, they might suggest something specific like a fiber supplement or diet changes.
Oh my god, tell me about it! Constipation is like my constant companion in the third trimester, along with heartburn and needing to pee every 5 minutes. My gynac said it's because of hormones slowing things down and the baby pressing on everything. It's a joy, really! *rolls eyes*
Constipation is super common, darling. It's usually due to the progesterone hormone slowing down digestion and then the iron supplements making it worse. No need for expensive remedies, just increase water intake, eat lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains. If it's very bad, your doctor can give a mild stool softener, but check with them first.
It's the hormones, mainly progesterone, that relax your bowel muscles and slow down digestion. Plus, your growing uterus presses on your intestines. And if you're taking iron supplements, that makes it even worse. So, it's very normal. Drink loads of water and eat plenty of fiber. Don't ignore it, otherwise it gets very uncomfortable.
Haan, constipation is a very common pregnancy problem, don't worry. It happens mainly because of the increased progesterone hormone, which slows down digestion. Plus, many prenatal vitamins have iron, which also causes it. Just make sure you drink lots of water, eat fruits like papaya and guavas, and high-fiber veggies. A short walk also helps sometimes.
