Pregnant women will experience constipation during pregnancy in the later trimesters. This may be uncomfortable for pregnant women but there are ways to treat them. Doctors would usually recommend pregnant women to take high fiber and add them in their diet.
Constipation can result in hemorrhoids and anal fissures if not treated.It is best to treat the condition with "natural" methods.
- I’m almost 13 weeks pregnant now. I had bad constipation in pregnancy[/url] and tried many of the typical remedies. My aunt just told me an old wives' tale to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything else. I've tried this for nearly 2 weeks and so far it seems to be working. My trips to the bathroom are now every 2-3 days as opposed to every 5 days before. And if I get especially gassy or bloated, I follow up the water with a 1/2 cup of prune juice and I'm good to "go" in a few hours or the next day. I never drink more than a 1/2 cup of prune juice because I end up with diarrhea.
