A. 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.
