hello,
The symptoms you have mentioned are all common in pregnancy as you take iron tablets which causes constipation as soon as your baby is born it will resolves by itself.
-eat high fiber diet
-drink morewater
-walking may help you for bowel movements
-dont take laxatives without informing your doctor as they may cause cramps and some may interfere with vitamin and mineral absorption.If it prolongs then you need to consult your doctor.Thank you.
