Constipation

Hi mommies! I am 8 weeks pregnant is it normal to have constipation during pregnancy? Because before I pregnant, I seldom have constipation. Can you suggest what drinks or foods to prevent constipation, please. Thank you!

it is normal to have consipation.( but cant remember which month or which trimester). Take more fruits - papaya or banana and also drink more water then ur usual intake. If continous, please consultnur gynea.

It's normal. I had the same problem. You may ask for constipation syrup from your gynae. I took this when I was pregnant, can be purchased from Watsons/Guardian pharmacy. Remb to drink lots of water too.

Got it! Will ask my gynae.. Thank you..

Is normal. I ate a lot of fruits and drank a lot of water but still feel constipated during 1st trim. Almost every 3-4 days once.. it got better during 2nd trim. Don’t worry.

just doubled your water intake and take small portion of meals. Avoid oily food. use 2 figs daily at night to avoid constipation in long term plus it's completely safe

Yes it's common. I had really bad one. No amount of water and fruits n veggies helped. I had to get the doc to give me Duphalac.

Hi. It is normal to have constipation. However, if you drink milk, orange juice and food with fiberike veges, it will help.
