I ignored severe constipation and swelling during my wife's pregnancy, thinking it would resolve on its own, which made things much worse for her later. Please inform your gynecologist right away so they can prescribe safe stool softeners.

Since hormonal changes can really mess up our digestion, this issue is quite common. Try not to strain when using the washroom. It's always best to get a doctor's advice rather than trying random tips.

Eating high-fiber food is very crucial to keep the stool soft. Include plenty of green leafy vegetables, oats, and papaya in your diet, and make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water daily.
