Though it’s not what you want to think about when you’re pregnant, the reality is that nearly three out of four pregnant women experience:
- constipation
- diarrhea
- other bowel disorders
The best way to avoid this is to drink lots of water and get plenty of fiber. A Loyola study found that pregnant women consume only 16-17 grams of fiber per day, while the recommended level for pregnant women and other adults is 25-30 grams per day. If needed, you can use stool softeners and suppositories, which are considered safe for pregnant women. Always consult your doctor.
