Is pregnancy constipation dangerous for the baby?

A: I’ve been editing for so long that I don’t think any question is embarrassing, but I agree, electronic questions are sometimes easier to ask.

Women, especially those who have had pregnancy losses in the past, often feel reluctant to exercise and can even cause them to become constipated.

Straining will not cause a miscarriage that was not meant to happen. I once had a client who swore she had miscarried because of a particularly strenuous bowel movement. She experienced the passage of tissue and bleeding immediately after the movement. While these events seem related, the tissue and blood was no doubt in the cervix, and she dislodged them with muscle contractions and downward pressure. But she didn’t cause the miscarriage.

The purpose of the colon is to absorb water, so any waste that sits there for a long time becomes drier and much harder to pass. It is important to “answer the call” when it first occurs; don’t wait for another letter to be typed or another client seen.

Pregnancy is also a state of water conservation; and fluid intake should approximately double. Carry a very large water bottle with you everywhere and drink from it constantly. You should absorb about half a liter of fluid daily. However, coffee and tea can be diuretics and you can lose water with these products, so don’t count them as “liquids.”

One tip I recommend is to lubricate the sphincter with a lubricant – water-soluble gel, hemorrhoid cream, lanolin, etc. – before a dry stool. This makes the whole process easier.

Try not to worry; just take in LOTS of fluids and plenty of roughage – whole grains, dried fruit, bran, etc.

I wish you a nice and happy pregnancy.
