Anyone getting really bad constipation / big poops in third trimester?

This is gonna be SUPER GROSS, sorry in advance. I’ve been pooping every 3-5 days recently (usually it’s every 2nd day) and the poops are huge 😭😭😭 it’s been such a struggle for me. Ive never had to spend more than 5 min pooping before but recently, I easily spend at least 20min. I’ve tried eating more fibre and drinking more, eating more fruits. I don’t think it has helped so far. I’ve been advised to take Moringa and/or magnesium supplements. Has anyone experienced this before and what helped?

Yes, I did. I tried all things like you but still hard to pass motion. So, I took duphalac syrup as doctor suggestion and it worked for me. Perhaps you wanna try it. Hope it also work for you, dear ❤️

It’s due to the hormone. Im having same problem. So doctor prescribed me fybogel and duphalac/lactulose. I alternate them both and taking it everyday. It’s pregnancy safe.

Oh I’ve fybogel at home, think I’ll use it then! I was a bit scared to take anything supplementary but I think now too desperate to care 🫣

I faced the same problem, it could be because of the iron tablets too. So my gynae suggested me to take prunes once or twice in a day and also pears/bananas help a lot.

Agree ! prunes also helped me. Try to snack dates, ripe papaya and drink yakult

Yes. It’s normal. You can also ask your gynae for some suppository.
