Suggest Remedy For Problem In Bowel Movement
I m 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I ve had to take extra iron vitamins because I m anemic. I hadn t had any problems passing stool until the past week or so & I ve developed hemorrhoids. Last night was the worst, I felt like I was on the toilet for an hour and only halfway relieved. I took a laxative last night and more came out this morning but still not fully relieved. I have a prenatal check up tomorrow but would like relief today, what else can I do..?

dear madam, don't worry about your problem these symptoms are the part of normal pregnancy. having constipation and also haemorroids is a common problem during pregnancy.But make sure you don't have bleeding per rectal or you don'thave blood in your stool. for your constipation you can take oral laxative 5ml per day before sleep for few days until you feel your bowels are normal... rest your doctor you are visisng will guide you thankyou
