Suggest Remedy For Extreme Constipation In Pregnancy
I am 11weeks pregnant and extremely constipated. I can tell the excrement is right there...but won’t come out. Can I use an enema? I have heard it can cause a miscarriage. Please advise. I eat at least two whole fruits and a good portion of vegetables every day and drink lots and lots of water. It has been 4 days since my last BM. I used an enema then, and have since read that they may lead to complications. I am 25yrs old. Any advise would be extremely appreciated.
Good evening. Constipation is very common during pregnancy. It's due to hormonal changes. As you have rightly said its always better to go for lifestyle changes rather than going for enemas. include lot of fibre in your diet.take lemon with three spoons of honey at bedtime. U can take syr.duphalac /30ml at bedtime for next one week.once your bowel movements are regularised, you can switch over to home remedy ( lemon+honey) Enjoy your pregnancy and take care.
