Constipated in early Pregnancy
Just wondering if anyone experienced Constipation in their early Pregnancy days?? If I am Pregnant I'm only a little past 4 weeks but today I woke up and haven't been able to go to the bathroom and that never happens to me. Yesterday I was starting to get knots behind my belly button and a couple woman on here suggested I was Constipated but I was fine yesterday and now today I haven't gone and I can't go! I can feel the pressure behind my belly button and its all tight and weird feeling. Help??
I know of certain foods I can eat to help and what things I can take to ease it...and drink lots of water..I'm just more curious as to who had it during early Pregnancy?

Yes, its possible, in fact I started getting constipated 1 week ago, when i didint even know I was pregnant...OMG, Im sooo excited for you! BABY DUST, LOTS AND LOST OF BABY DUST FOR YOU!
Well every human being, pregnant or not, is gunna get constipated sooner or later.
Pregnant women get consipated because our digestive track slows down so our bodies can get as much nutrients out of our food as it possibly can... causing you not to be able to make a BM for a couple days, and when you finally do, it's like, "OMG JUST COME OUT ALREADY!!"
lolol
Chances are you will... atleast a couple times.
It's only happened to me a couple times these past almost 14 weeks... but I haven't been visiting the bathroom as often as I used to either... unless it's my routine potty breaks every 30 minutes er so because pregnant women pee a HELL of a lot! lol

Alot of women get constipated in early pregnancy.
I've had a couple episodes just recently, and my friend has had it since day one.
So there's nothign to worry about.
Just don't stress yourself trying to pass it.

Oh girl, my zits have completely taken over my forehead! It's no longer my forehead, LOL . I'm so used to having clear skin...dang my hormones are WHACK
Well maybe you are. I'm hoping it's all pregnancy. The acne isn't gone yet. Infact, I've gotton a little more. I have one on my forehead thats just soo painful!
Sore and Swollen nipples can also be a symptom of Pregnancy so keep the faith! I can't wait to hear your results!
I would have thought I would have gotten a + by now..but my Cycles are whack and its definitely possible I Ovulated later. And my last Pregnancy I didnt get a + until I was 6 weeks so maybe I'm just a late BFP? I dunno! I would only go to the Doctor if my Period never comes and I still get negatives. For now I'm just gonna wait until AF is due and than test again.
Good Luck!

well it's 12:00 now.. so it's officially ONE more day until I can test. I'm starting to get sore/swollen nipples. Which makes me feel like maybe this whole time it was af..?
I'm just hoping it's not. But it's like a twinge but only in the nipple.
I really hope it shows up as your pregnant.. I mean it seems like it would already.
Have you thought about going to the doctor and let them tell you?
Or maybe it's early?
I went to google and typed in ... Implantation of the uterus and then clicked on images and it shows that what I feel could be implantation. so I'm still hanging in there and hoping.

My body is soo confusing me right now. I feel so Pregnant, yet I test negative..I'm now constipated which never happens to me...I have so many symptoms..but yet they could all be AF..I just feel completely lost!
Oh weird. Were different. For me, it's suddenly made me have better "movements".Like, my body is refreshed and sometimes yeah, I get a lil tiny bit of constipation. But, It's just weird.
Thanks for the tip! Then I'm assuming you never had Constipation in your early Pregnancy then?? I'm just trying to figure out if thats why I have it. ?
I have a great remedy: I am taking prenatals called Prima Care.....they have stool softeners in them and I have not been constipated once!!! They are awesome and I recommend them to all my friends (preggo friends anyway).... Hope that helps....Prune juice works too but YUCK........ GL girls

Oh you're welcome!! I am just hoping and praying for you!! You deserve it girl!! =) Keep us posted!!
Ohh Chantal that makes me feel better! Because I never ever get Constipated and this is the first day in soooooo long (and I mean years and years) that I haven't gone. Very unusual for me. My tummy feels so tight and all knotted up. I was getting Cramps in my lower tummy today too. Ohh we'll see! Thanks for the info girl!
Hey Gina! I hope you get that BFP!! =) I had constipation VERY early in my pregnancy. I was at the store with my mom one day, and was having these weird "pulling" sensations in my lower belly. And then I told her I hadn't gone to the bathroom in 2 days! (that usually doesn't happen) She right away thought I was pregnant. 2 days later a test came out positive! I am so hoping this is the month for you!!!! <3
