What leads towards constipation during pregnancy?

As your baby grows, the levels of hormones are on a whirlwind, which aids you in making room for your developing baby. These hormones expand the muscles around your bowel, leading them to calm and slow down while making it tougher to pass the stools.


Often, mum-to-be take various supplements for nutritional purposes that might consist of increased levels of iron, which can add to the issues regarding constipation.


Numerous other reasons might contribute to the possibility of facing constipation during pregnancy. These include:

  • If you are already suffering from any digestive condition, for instance, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
  • If you are suffering from morning sickness, nausea or lack of appetite
  • You frequently suffer from constipation
  • You don’t tend to do physical exercises, especially during the final trimester of pregnancy
  • Even though there are certain differences in the bowel habits among every pregnant woman, you must monitor any major change that might be a sign of constipation

The changes could include:

  • Bloating
  • Stomach cramps
  • Nausea
  • Difficulty passing stools
  • Loss of appetite
