Sorry TMI but - 23w pregnant and ? about bowel movements? =/?

Question

I average about once a week.. should this be of enough concern to mention to my dr?

Answer 1

Prune Juice. I consumed alot during the end of my pregnancy. If you dont get things moving and keep them soft then you may end up with dreaded hemarrhoids an that is no fun!!!

Answer 2

You need to get more regular the pharmacy can recommend something that will help...and drink lots of water...

Answer 3

Constipation is common in pregnancy, some prenatal vitamins have a stool relaxer in them now.  So you should move your bowel more than once a week, ask you doc if there is anything you can take.  Make sure you drink enough water, that can help too, and make sure your getting enough fiber in your diet

Congrats on the baby!
