Constipation

[PTB7476]

seem like my constipation getting from bad to worst
i tried to eat fruit at least once a day ( either papaya or banana or apple) but still i am having constipation... even prune juice or yakurt or yogurt seem to be immune no longer effective :embarrassed:

any suggestion ?? could it be the calcium pill or pre-nat vitamin or fish oil that is giving me problem ??

Yes highlight it to your gynae....tht time I also told my gynae, then she gave me some med to at least relieve me of constipation....it is part & parcel of pregnancy, but yes do drink lots & lots & lots of water too

try drinking those fibre to aid bowel movements? I've been taking it even before I got pregnant and I checked with my Gynae, it's ok for me to take the fibre to clear my bowels... Plus I just eat another 2 apples a day and I can move bowels everyday leh...

I take prunes, oatmeal, at least 2 servings of veg (leafy ones), yogurt everyday to ease constipation. Otherwise, ask your gynae for some meds to help.
Calcium pill will cause constipation in some ppl. There are certains brands of milk powder which also cause constipation for me. Thus, i try to drink low fat high cal fresh milk.

what brand of fibre drink did you take ?

 

[MargaretB]

Perhaps u all can try to take colostrum. I take it every night before i sleep and i have no problem in moving bowels every morning! within a min and everything is done =)

and i also found that my legs cramps problem become lesser now. colostrum can also help in boosting our immune system (babies share our immune system during this period) and it also contains growth factors which is very good for our babies =)

I am taking Fibrena... It's not available off the shelf. My mother-in-law helps me to buy it from her friend cos this product is selling through a MLM company... I saw online is selling also, but not too sure expensive or not... I have a gf who's selling this product, if you want, I can pass you the contact and you can also purchase from her if you are interested... I think they have it in the small pack so you can try that and see if this products work for you before you purchase the big box ...

Just my 2 cents worth, remember to drink ALOT of water... Cos the fibre, contains a certain kind of substance (forgot the exact name of the thingy), which will stick to our intestine if we don't drink enough water to flush out the extra fibre that we take in... Then it will be worst, cos then our body cannot absorb the nutrients that we take in due to the residue stuck on our intestine...

Just remember to drink as much water as possible... You can try eating 1 or 2 apples a day to aid the bowel movements after taking the fibre... For me, it works as long as I take 2 apples a day and my bowel movement is pretty smooth.

Ohhh... I mean when you take the fibre, must take even more water than you usually consume. Before I got pregnant, I already have constipation but as long as I take fibre, my bowel is ok. After I got pregnant, if I take only the fibre, my bowel is only every other day but if I eat apples, will pass everyday... Actually should eat more fruits, cos it contains folic acid, which is food for our baby also... :001_302:
