The dangers of constipation during pregnancy cannot be underestimated. Constipation can cause endotoxin deposition in the body, which may cause mild toxemia and affect the physical and mental health of the fetus. Constipation can also cause abdominal pain and bloating, and in severe cases, intestinal obstruction and premature birth. Long-term constipation and long toilet time will cause hemorrhoids or aggravate hemorrhoids, causing unbearable pain for pregnant women. What should I do if constipation is severe in early pregnancy? What to do if constipation is severe in early pregnancy 1. Supplement more dietary fiber and water Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber: oatmeal, corn, soybeans, lettuce, bamboo shoots, jujube, walnuts, peanuts, apples, pears, red grapes, etc., to stimulate gastrointestinal motility and improve bowel movements. Drink a few drops of water, drink it in big gulps, but don't drink too much at one time, which can relieve constipation. 2. Exercise moderately and avoid sitting for long periods of time Although you should reduce your activity during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. However, you should not stand, sit or stay in bed for a long time. Taking a moderate walk or massaging your abdomen in circles with force and slowly (do not massage for a long time or with too much force to avoid affecting the fetus) can relieve constipation. 3. Develop good bowel habits The best time to defecate is after breakfast, when gastrointestinal motility is faster, which is conducive to defecation. Adhere to defecation after breakfast every day and develop good habits. The time for defecation should not be too long to prevent the increase of abdominal pressure and make it difficult to urinate in the lower limbs. If you feel the urge to urinate, you need to defecate immediately, and don't hold it in. 4. Honey water Honey lemon water has a good effect in promoting digestion. Drinking it twice a day and persisting for a week will have practical results, and constipation can be effectively improved in a month. Drinking some natural fruit juice without preservatives can also help lubricate the intestines. 5. Do not use drugs without authorization If the constipation is severe and cannot be cured by diet, you need to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. You cannot take laxatives on your own to avoid the risk of miscarriage.
