Hello ma’am, during pregnancy constipation is common and usually managed with high-fiber diet, more water, and light walks.
Safe options include bulk-forming agents (psyllium/Isabgol) or lactulose syrup if diet changes don’t help.
Avoid strong laxatives and consult doctor before starting any medicine.
I hope it helps you. If more questions are in your mind, you can reach me for a free detailed consultation on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine.

If constipation is severe, persistent, or associated with abdominal pain, bleeding, or vomiting then you should see your gynecologist immediately before starting any medicine.
