During pregnancy, some pregnant women may indeed experience constipation, mainly due to changes in hormone levels in the female body after pregnancy. Among them, it is worth mentioning progesterone, which is very effective in the growth and development of the gestational sac, but also has the effect of inhibiting intestinal peristalsis, so many pregnant women are prone to constipation. So, what should I do if I have constipation for three days during pregnancy?
Pregnant women have been constipated for three days, which is actually quite common. At this time, it is recommended that pregnant women eat dragon fruit and yogurt squeezed into a paste, which has a certain laxative effect and can relieve constipation in pregnant women. If taking this doesn't have much effect, you can ask a doctor to prescribe some topical medication to relieve constipation.
Many people are concerned about the impact of these topical laxatives on pregnant women, but in fact, as long as doctors pay attention to the dosage, the impact on pregnant women is not significant. For pregnant women, it is important to pay attention to the cultivation of lifestyle habits. They should not lie down all the time and exercise appropriately when their body allows, which can help alleviate constipation.
In addition to adjusting lifestyle habits, pregnant women should also pay attention to their bowel habits and regularly defecate, which is very important. But it should be noted that the duration of each bowel movement should be careful and not too long. At the same time, it is important to eat more sweet potatoes, vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, which can help pregnant women maintain a soft stool.
