It's normal. I took this. It works for me. Can be purchased from Watsons/Guardian pharmacy. You might want to check with your gynae if you are keen.

Yes, it's normal. Try to drink plenty of water, milk and fruits. If it does not work, can seek gynae to prescribe medication to loosen your bowel

It is common in late term pregnancy. Take more prune juice and/or duphalac to help with passing motion.

Yes it’s normal. Try taking yogurt or Yakult and increase your fiber intake as well.
