So will you be constipated before giving birth? Pregnant women will have a feeling of abdominal heaviness a few days before giving birth, and may also have mild constipation.

The constipation will spontaneously improve after the pregnant woman gives birth, so we don’t need to worry too much. Pregnant women should maintain a comfortable mood, relax their emotions, eliminate the psychological state of anxiety, uneasiness and fear, and also adjust their diet, eat more foods rich in cellulose, and avoid eating greasy, raw and cold foods that are difficult to digest, otherwise it will aggravate constipation.

Although constipation before delivery will not cause a big impact on the human body, we still need to pay attention to daily care, adjust our mental state, and make relative preparations to welcome the birth of a new life. Moreover, after the onset of constipation symptoms, pregnant women should pay close attention to their own health conditions. If they find that they are about to give birth, they should go to the obstetrics department of the hospital immediately to give birth in order to minimize the occurrence of unexpected situations. When pregnant women are giving birth, they should follow the doctor's instructions and choose an appropriate delivery method based on their own specific circumstances to ensure that the newborn is born healthy.

Pregnant women may experience constipation symptoms before giving birth. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. We don’t need to worry too much.
