Constipation in Pregnancy is very common but it’s very painful for the pregnant females.

Constipation tends to start as early as progesterone levels rise, around the second to third month of pregnancy. It may get worse as pregnancy progresses and your uterus grows.

Causes of constipation:
-not drinking enough water
-not eating enough fibre
-pregnancy hormones - these can make your poo move more slowly through your intestine.
-taking iron supplements
How to ease constipation

You can ease constipation by:
-drinking plenty of water - try to have 10 glasses of water a day, about 2 litres
-eating foods that are high in fibre every day - vegetables, wholegrain breads, porridge, fruit, dried fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils
-staying active - try walking, swimming, pregnancy yoga or pilates
Lifestyle changes-going to the toilet when you first feel the urge to have a bowel motion (do a poo) - give yourself plenty of time and take some deep breaths to help relax the pelvic floor
avoid fast food / processed foods as they are poor source of minerals and fibres.
medicine - Laxatives help you poo more regularly and usually take effect within a few days. Consult your doctor before starting this medicine as all laxatives are not safe in Pregnancy. And you should only use them for a short amount of time. Laxatives may cause more abdominal discomfort and diarrhoea.

Disclaimers- Speak to your Doctor if you are regularly constipated and it lasts a long time, if it’s not improving, or if you have blood in your poo.
