Patient's question:

First, it is important to know that constipation during pregnancy is very common, so there is no need to worry too much and keep a relaxed mood. Secondly, it is necessary to maintain appropriate exercise every day, such as walking, or doing some light household chores. Develop the habit of defecating at regular times every day, even if nothing comes out, make sure to go to the toilet on schedule, gradually forming a conditioned reflex. In terms of diet, it is recommended to frequently consume coarse grains, mixed grains, and more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. Every morning, drink a glass of cool drinking water on an empty stomach after going to bed, which is beneficial for bowel movement.
