Towards the end of pregnancy it's very common because her uterus is also preparing for delivery, baby weight pressing the colon etc etc. Take lactulose syp 15 ml at night and have plenty of water. But keep in mind that along wid constipation there is no occasional hardening of uterus. Otherwise u need to visit hospital for wellbeing of both mother and baby.

Thank you for your question.
Since you're pregnant, it's important to understand your medical history, scan reports, and symptoms in detail before giving proper advice. Pregnancy care needs to be individualized and carefully monitored.
I recommend sharing more details like:
previous reports (ultrasound, blood tests)?
Any specific complaints or concerns?
Once I have this information, I can guide you better. For best care, regular check-ups with a gynecologist are essential throughout pregnancy.
