When your constipation start?

For first pregnancy no experience of constipation. However, second pregnancy, I experience at first trimester and now, coming third trimester. I took lactulose as prescribe and when needed. However, nearing EDD I am also looking out for signs of birth. To avoid giving birth unexpectedly. You know, the urge of pooping and giving birth almost the same 🤣🥲

The constipation will get worse in the 2nd and especially 3rd trimester. Especially if you’re given iron supplements. Try to eat more fruits and veggies! If it’s really very bad, speak to your gynae. He/She should be able to prescribe you something to help loosen the stool.

I'm experiencing it in my 3rd tri now! First 2 tris I ate a lot of fruits and yoghurt which helped I guess

same. mine was throughout pregnancy since first trimester like week 9 onwards

I started taking prenatal probiotics and my bowel movement improved.

luckily I didn't have this often
