how to avoid constipation and tiredness while pregnancy?

Answer 1

common symptom during early pregnancy is tiredness during the day, which can be alleviated by snacking between meals. Healthy options which provide energy over a longer period of time, such as fruit, crackers and cheese or a yoghurt, for example, are a preferable to foods which provide instant energy highs for a short period only, such as sweets or chocolate.

If the tiredness is related to anaemia, an iron supplement may be required, as iron needs are increased throughout the pregnancy. Your doctor will advise you about this. Anaemia means that the blood carries less oxygen to the placenta, which may lead to premature birth or low birth weight. It can also increase the risk of the mother bleeding at birth. If tiredness persists, consult your doctor for further advice.

One of the more unpleasant aspects of pregnancy is constipation, often due to the increased weight in the pelvis. Hormones released during pregnancy also have an effect on the bowel muscles, making them less elastic and therefore slowing down the transit of food through the gut, resulting in constipation. Iron supplements can also cause constipation, as can a reduction in the usual amount of exercise taken.

You should try to eat small helpings several times a day and eight to 10 glasses of water each day is also vital to help avoid constipation. A cup of warm liquid when you get out of bed may also help to stave off constipation. Regular gentle exercise for at least 20 minutes a day can also help, as it gently stimulates the bowel.

For the constipation: Eat foods with lots of fiber, and drink plenty of fluids.

For the tiredness: Take a nap when you feel like it. When I was pregnant it seemed to be the first 3 months I was sooooo tired, and then it went away.

It could be the iron in the prenatals. I ate a lot of total raisen bran to counteract that. (although that has iron too) and second the fiber answer above. For tiredness, all I can say is sleep and nap whenever you can, and give up things, like cleaning the house - seriously.
