Why pregnant women get constipated

After pregnancy, women who are not constipated are also prone to constipation, which is related to a variety of causes. The early pregnancy reaction after pregnancy makes the appetite poor, and pregnant women like to eat spicy and other foods that stimulate the taste buds, which makes the internal heat in the body more than when they are not pregnant, plus the fetus is a pure Yang body, which aggravates this reaction of the mother, and they will feel obvious thirst and sore throat; the enlarged uterus will press the intestines, which will change the normal position of the intestines and affect the normal functioning of the intestines, which will delay defecation, thus easily causing pregnant women to constipation. Due to the early pregnancy reaction, pregnant women have poor appetite, and when constipation occurs, the toxins in the body cannot be excreted, which further affects the diet, so the vicious circle, pregnant women will feel more painful. When constipation occurs, first of all, pregnant women are advised to drink a lot of plain water to increase the amount of urine and promote the excretion of body heat, as well as to eat foods high in fiber and develop the habit of regular bowel movements. If all of the above can be done, but still can not relieve the symptoms of constipation, you can use appropriate drugs, such as lactulose, which has no effect on the fetus and can help pregnant women to better defecate. There are many causes of constipation in pregnant women, which can generally be corrected and will not affect the growth and development of the fetus, so don’t worry too much.
