POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month2 months agoA. Constipation is common during pregnancy, especially in the 4th month, due to hormonal changes and pressure from the growing uterus. Here are some safe and effective ways to relieve it:
Increase fiber intake: Include fiber-rich foods like whole grains, fruits (especially papaya, prunes, apples), vegetables, and legumes in your diet. Drink plenty of water: Aim for at least 8–10 glasses of water daily. Warm water in the morning can help stimulate bowel movement. Stay active: Light exercise like walking or prenatal yoga (with your doctor’s approval) can improve digestion and reduce constipation. Avoid iron supplements that cause constipation: If your iron tablet is making it worse, ask your doctor to switch to a gentler option. Avoid refined and processed foods: These can worsen constipation.
If constipation becomes severe or painful, consult your doctor. They may prescribe safe stool softeners or mild laxatives suitable for pregnancy. Avoid taking any over-the-counter medicine without medical advice.
