What should I do if I am constipated and about to give birth?

After ten months of anxious pregnancy, women hope that their children can be born safely. But good things don't always come easy. Some women who are pregnant with a cup found that they had difficulty defecating in the late stages of pregnancy, and they suddenly became anxious, because after all, difficulty defecating may cause difficulty in giving birth. Therefore, many people want to know: What should I do if I have severe constipation during childbirth?

1. Drink more water. Drinking water is one of the reasonable ways to promote digestion. However, the defecation ability of drinking water without method is very low, so pregnant women with severe constipation need to master the drinking water technology. The so-called technical drinking water means drinking water on an empty stomach after waking up early in the morning, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion; or drinking water several times, each sip should be enough, so as to facilitate bowel movements. If it is simply drinking in large quantities, it will have no practical effect and may cause other problems to the human body.

2. Eat a balanced diet. When pregnant, many women eat a variety of foods in order to fully supplement the body's nutrients. But if you eat too much, you are prone to constipation. Therefore, in addition to the necessary nutrients and meals to eat, you can appropriately increase the supplementation of other foods. In addition, fruits and vegetables are essential. In addition, you can appropriately supplement foods containing cellulose to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and promote bowel movements.

3. Exercise at a moderate intensity every day. When women are pregnant, they should develop a good habit of exercising more, which is not only beneficial to a smooth delivery, but also allows the gastrointestinal tract to exercise and digest food. Of course, mothers with poor physical fitness should exercise under the guidance of a doctor.

In the final stage of pregnancy, pregnant mothers may suffer from severe constipation. Because the gastrointestinal tract is under great pressure from the uterus, it is also very important to adjust the diet. 1. Don’t eat too little. To relieve constipation, pregnant mothers should first pay attention to not eating too little, otherwise it will aggravate the constipation. Eat more vegetables and fruits containing methylcellulose, fresh fruits and whole grains, such as lettuce, greens, radish, melon vegetables, apples, bananas, pears, oatmeal, mixed beans, black rice...etc. 2. Pay attention to the drinking water method. Drinking water moderately every day is very beneficial for relieving constipation for pregnant mothers, but drinking more does not mean the better. While paying attention to drinking more water, you must also master the drinking water method to be effective. Otherwise, even if you drink water and ensure adequate daily drinking water intake, it will still not have much effect. For example, you should drink water in large gulps at a fixed time every day, such as before breakfast, but be careful not to drink too much. You just need to ensure that the water reaches the sigmoid colon as soon as possible, rather than drinking it slowly so that the water can be quickly digested and absorbed into the blood by the stomach and intestines. In this way, the excrement can be made softer and easier to excrete from the body.

It is related to the gradual expansion of the fetus, especially in the late pregnancy. The fetus has been compressed in the duodenum, making it more difficult to defecate. In addition, do not squat on the toilet for more than 10 minutes. If you can't defecate, it will come out. Your condition is already cow dung-like stool. The key is that the bowel movement is not timely, constipation and constipation. You can start by adjusting your diet structure, eating more high-fiber foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking enough water, exercising moderately, and developing the habit of regular bowel movements.
