Does constipation in early pregnancy affect the fetus?

Most women will experience abnormalities in their bodies during pregnancy. When they are preparing to get pregnant, they can defecate every morning, but when they are pregnant, they always feel that defecation is difficult to defecate. They need to exert force every time to defecate, and they are worried that exerting force will affect the health of the fetus. After all, defecation is done by exerting force with the abdomen. So, does constipation in early pregnancy affect the fetus?

1. Constipation in the early stages of pregnancy will immediately cause pregnant women to strain to defecate, which will undoubtedly have a certain impact on the fetus. When straining, there will be a certain amount of pressure on the abdomen, which will irritate the fetus. You must not strain like this for a long time. To avoid this situation, correct your irregular diet and have regular bowel movements every day.

2. In the later stages of pregnancy, the abdomen will gradually expand. If you keep straining to defecate, it will affect the health of the uterus. Constipation is caused by a poor diet, so it is naturally difficult to defecate. Therefore, you should drink more water and eat more fruits. If the constipation is severe, you can apply laxatives externally.

3. If pregnant women have to strain to defecate for a long time due to constipation, it may cause miscarriage of the fetus. In order to prevent constipation, pregnant women must start with diet, eat more foods that can help defecation, and avoid constipation. In this way, defecation will be much more comfortable in the future, and there is no need to worry about harming the fetus.

Long-term constipation in pregnant women has a negative impact on the fetus:

1. Pregnant women with constipation may have a reduced appetite at the mildest, which may lead to an imbalance in intestinal function; in severe cases, they may even suffer from poisoning themselves, because a large amount of metabolic substances in the body need to be excreted through feces. In moderate to severe constipation, a large amount of metabolic substances accumulate in the intestines and are digested and absorbed, causing poisoning, which may be digested and absorbed by the fetus.

2. Constipation can cause pregnant women to strain to urinate, which can put pressure on the baby. Therefore, constipation during pregnancy is not good for both adults and children, and should be avoided in time.

3. If constipation has occurred, do not abuse laxatives, otherwise it may cause miscarriage or premature birth.

4. If you are constipated for a long time and do not defecate, it will also affect the next nutritional supplement. Without rich nutritional supplements, it will definitely affect the growth and development of the fetus.
