Pregnant and constipated: what to do?

We agree that constipation is not the most pleasant part of pregnancy, but you may have to get used to it since it's one of the most common symptoms!


One in two pregnant women experience constipation during pregnancy, so the good news is that half of them don't.


It often appears at the beginning and settles in, but it is rare that it occurs in the middle of pregnancy. It's the hormones slowing down your digestive system and causing these unpleasant sensations.


To relieve this and boost your transit, fiber is your best friend!

Anyone know what you can do for constipation at 28 weeks pregnant?? Because I’ve been feeling it the last few days! Like I’m able to go but it’s hard for me to go if that makes sense… should I call my doctor and ask what to do or can I take stool softeners for it? I just need to know because this sucks!

Mamas what can I do for constipation? Since before I found out I was pregnant, I have dealt with constipation and it really bad hurts to try and use the restroom. I’ve tried juices, fruits, hot rag/shower, and other at home remedies and nothing has helped. I am miserable 🥺😭
