Hi I have gone through your complaints.dont worry its quite common in most of pregnant woman.regarding constipation,due to pregnancyhormonal effect.it can be overcome by encouraging eating of green leafy vegetables ,fruits and avoid refined deits like bread and biscuits.take luke warm water in morning,facilitates easy bowel movement..start regular walk if you dont improve with this mild laxative syrups areadvised.braxton contractions become more frequent as gestational age increases.some times contractions are painful.as time goes on you may adopt for that.dont worry take rest. Dont think much above those.take good diet.have a healthy baby. Thank you Regards Vasundhara
