Hello!
Thanks for your query.
You do not need to worry because constipation is very common during and after pregnancy ,as a result of:
high levels of progesterone hormone
digestive system slows down
unbalanced diet
To alleviate constipation you need to :
drink 8 full glasses of fluids per day
eat foods rich in roughage or fiber
take stool softeners and laxatives
exercise to stimulate your bowel
go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge.
Take care of your self
