Constipation during pregnancy is usually due to changes in the hormones. Also, your uterus is expanding and takes up the space that was previously occupied by your bowel. To ease constipation, you can: - gradually increase your intake of fiber-rich food (e.g., whole grain products, fruits and vegetables, legumes etc) - taking small meals instead of the normal three big meals - hydrate! (this is to help move the food through the digestive tract and also to soften the stool) - be active (take walks and stay active) Consult your doctor for milk laxatives safe for use during pregnancy if the situation is not improving.
