Constipation

I'm now in 20 weeks pregnant, I have been constipated my whole pregnancy journey up til now. Is it okay to push hard on the stool? As the older people always say it's not good to push stool out. And is it okay to use cental enema during pregnancy just to soften the stool?

prune juice!! or carrot & tomato juice!..it helps for me... I was having a hard time sweating in the toilet just to poop🤣not anymore now...

You can request lactulose to soften bowel. Have a proper food intake that helps in bowel movement.

My gynae recommended prune juice, and it worked well for me. Just buy from ntuc

I only took one shot the night before, for next day morning..

You can try Prune juice, eating pitted prunes and oats.
