Help i know constipation is normal in pregnancy but i was wandering why?
And what can i do to have more frequent bowl movements because i will go a week without having one.

Try eating lots of papaya!! That helps me, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and that has been my remedy!! Works wonders lol increase your fiber, I also take chia seeds daily in my water.. There's different things you can add them to, I also add them to my smoothies!! Hope this helps:)

Your digestive system works 4 times slower than normal when you are pregnant, thus constipation. Good luck.

There is a powder the you mix with liquid that works wonders. My entire family takes it when needed. It's called Konsyl. Comes in orange or non flavored. We get the non flavored and mix it with the Welch's juice coctails. Great stuff

Also make sure you're drinking a lot of water. 2 litters of water a day

Its normal to be constipated during pregnancy. Your hormones slow down your digestive system. Trt prune juice at room temperature. If that doesnt work you should consider talking to your OB about taking a stool softener. Take care.

You should  be having a bowel movement 1-2 times daily. Not having a bowel movement in 24 hour period means that everything in your intestinal tract turns toxic... your constipation sounds serious and you should talk to your Dr

High dose probiotic supplement,  kombucha tea, fiber, fruit, veggies, water, and exercise should help

I ate 4 figs that did it for me. You can also drink prune juice
