Constipation and straining to defecate in late pregnancy can have an effect on the fetus and may lead to preterm labor.
The late pregnancy straining to defecate will lead to increased intra-abdominal pressure, which will cause uterine contractions, and in severe cases, it will easily lead to premature rupture of fetal membranes and premature labor.
Constipation during pregnancy can be adjusted from the diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more warm water, and at the same time, take a walk every day, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, help relieve the problem of constipation.
If the pregnant woman is more serious constipation, you can go to the hospital for relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor to take medication to help relieve constipation, but can not blindly use their own medication to avoid affecting the development of the fetus.
