Suggest Remedy For Pain In Lower Abdomen And Constipation During Pregnancy

Hello, I am 20 years of age and found out a couple of weeks ago I am pregnant, I went to my local doctor and she was quite rude to me and all she spoke about was down syndrome babies and how they look funny when they are born, she didnt tell me anything i need to be on eg, supplements and things like that, and i have been getting slight pains occasionally that are similar to period pains and I have been having bad constipation how do i fix this?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as you found that you are pregnant a couple of weeks ago you might be in early pregnancy.You need to be very careful during this time like avoid stress,lifting heavy weights,intercourse etc.Take healthy nutritional diet like green leafy and all other veggies,fruits,milk,fish,meat etc along with the prenatals given by your doctor.Dont worry.Constipation is routinely seen in pregnancy due to influence of progesterone hormone.So take high fibre diet ,fluids uptown 3 litres per day and laxatives if needed.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
