Constipation

Hey recently I’ve been really constipated despite eating more fruit and veg. It’s probably the pregnancy, I’m 12 weeks. However sometimes there’s bleeding after doing my business. Not heavy bleeding just a little. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

I had it early in my first trimester. Try drinking at least 2L of water, have some yogurt! My booty hole did tear a bit I suppose cause there was a little of bleeding. I did panic a bit more because of the bleed. Consult your gynae mommy, for reassurance and advice.

Yessss constipation, diarrhea, and slight bleeding after pooping is verryy common and normal, and will happen alot of time. Even now at 3rd trim it happens sometimes 🥵 you might want to ask your gynae if you can have duphalac.

U can try to incorporate j breathing while u doing the biz. Ive done it since the day i learned j breathing and so far no bleeding anymore after doing the big biz

Thank you so much all! You have eased my worries. Will try all that was suggested. Appreciate it!!

if wan, u can ask your gynae for prebiotic supplements. helps with constipation.

Eat Greek yoghurt first thing in the morning to help with constipation :)

Ask gynae for help. I was given fibre drink to ease my constipation.

you can drink prune juice as suggested by my OB 😊
