Patient's question:
I am currently 35 weeks pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, I didn't experience constipation, but now it has reappeared. I would like to ask the doctor how to deal with constipation at 35 weeks of pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Make changes to your eating habits. Pregnant women are prone to constipation again in the later stages of early pregnancy. This is mainly due to the growth and development of the fetus causing the uterus to expand, and after the uterus expands, it will control the rectum and interfere with defecation. It is recommended that pregnant women increase their intake of dietary fiber, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and engage in appropriate physical activity. Drinking a cup of soy milk every morning can also help alleviate constipation.
