Been so constipated since i got pregnant, like its been days sometimes and its very uncomfortable. My MIL says its normal but i keep worrying if all this straining can affect the baby. Anyone went through this?
Honestly u dont need fancy stuff for this. Just up ur water, add some isabgol if doc allows, and eat fruits u already have at home. Don't waste money on expensive supplements before asking gynac.
Beta in my time we used to soak a few raisins or have warm water in the morning, it helped a lot. Eat papaya carefully, more vegetables and dal. If it stays bad for many days then ask the doctor for something safe.
Constipation is super common in pregnancy, hormones slow everything down. It wont harm the baby but it can be uncomfortable and cause piles if ignored. More water, fiber and a little walking after meals fixed it for me both times.
