Bad constipation in 3rd trimester
Does any mummies have other relief or solution to really bad constipation in 3rd trimester aside from the usual take more fruits/vege/fibre? (Which I’m trying) 🥲 I’ve been having bad tummy ache a few times a day but when I try to go I can hardly poop 🥲 The constipation situation is quite bad, not sure what else can I do 😭
U may want to go c a gp for lactulose to solve your current situation first. Thereafter you can try taking yoghurt or probiotics supplements daily and c if it helps with your bowel movements. Also try to intake 2 litres of water daily
take stool softener from GP (or you can buy from pharmacy but I think getting from GP wld be better). Take fruits - kiwi (with the skin) and dragonfruit. Don't forget loads of water!!
Take pregnancy safe probiotics! I took this: https://sg.shp.ee/ZBdnS4a Lacto fit mom
Read morePrune juice works for me. Else try Fybogel - my gynae said ok to drink this.
I take vitagen every morning when I wake up and night before I sleep.
Yellow dragon fruit works wonder! Magnesium oxide is also helpful.
Eating fruits, specifically dragon fruit really helps for me :)
go see a GP or gynae. they will prescribe lactulose for you
