Constipation in pregnancy can be common and uncomfortable, both at the same time. It can be accompanied by bloating, abdominal pain, back ache, headache, general tiredness, and even piles. ✅What is pregnancy constipation? Pregnancy constipation is when you are unable to pass stools or you experience pain and difficulty while passing stools. This can lead to increased straining with little to no results or even a sensation to poop all the time. ✅When does it begin ? Pregnancy constipation can set in during the 8th week of gestation, and for some it may get better, while for others it may remain until the third trimester. ✅What causes pregnancy constipation? While, we are very quick to put the blame on hormones ,especially progesterone because it causes muscles in the bowel which move stools further towards the intestine and out, to relax thereby slowing down gastric emptying. However, there can be various other reasons including - 🌸Your growing womb 🌸 Inadequate hydration 🌸Low fibre intake 🌸Reduced activity 🌸Iron supplements ✅How can you relieve constipation during pregnancy? 👉 Include complex carbohydrate rich foods to your diet ( wheat, oats, ragi, barley, nuts, and seeds). 👉 Add fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet. 👉 Have porridges, soups, and smoothies rather than consuming heavy meals. 👉Have prunes early morning with a glass of lukewarm water. 👉 Drink enough water, coconut water, buttermilk, etc 👉Have iron rich foods like spinach, nuts, seeds, beans, ragi, etc to decrease dependency on supplements. 👉Keep yourself active, talk to your doctor regarding it. 👉Don't skip prenatal supplements, rather talk to your doctor for a different one. 👉Talk to your doctor regarding stool softeners, and laxatives, if needed. 👉Avoid processed or packaged foods.

hi everyone, how are you all doing??
Road trips are fun! I am sure, that most of you would agree with us. Long road trips, exploring the countryside, greenery feels absolutely amazing. However, while planning your trip it's important to pay attention towards your health, as well as well-being. Here are some BONUS TIPS for you - ✅ Consume or carry an apple and handful nuts such as almonds, and walnuts to prevent the feeling of nausea or vomiting. ✅ Carry some lemon water along or you can even prepare ginger, mint, and lemon detox water to sip in between the trip. ✅ Sleep for good 8 hours before the trip, and take a break in between if you are tired. Halts are important in case you are driving. ✅ Have a cup of plain curd or Greek yogurt, buttermilk in between your trip. ✅Avoid caffeine or sodas on your trip as it can worsen nausea, and lead to dehydration. ✅Avoid skipping meals, and over-eating. ✅Avoid smoking and avoid going near people who smoke, this can trigger motion sickness. ✅Eat light snacks on your trip, ensure that these snacks are not greasy, spicy, or loaded with calories. ✅Get some fresh air , and in case you encounter numbness in your feet, and hands, carry foods rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and magnesium.
