Due Date Club June 2007:constipation and dizziness

Hi
This may look like a very awkward question. Do any of you guys have dizziness during bowel movements. I am having severe constipation and feel very dizzy every time I go to toilet. Which btw is once in 2-3 days. I dint face this in my first pregnancy and find it too irritating.
I know it is very awkward question but if someone has any idea, wud appreciate a response.

For dizziness the best thing to do is have glocouse water.Try to get the powder from Indian stores and u can add 2-3spoons of it in water and drink.This always helps me out.

For constipation try to drink lots of water during day time,They say prune juice is good for it,i know it taste bitter(i don't like it...)you can try it out.
If you are having roti's just try to avoid it for couple of days n have alternative.....it might also be coz of prenatals...

Good Luck Dear<

Hi,

I tried almost everything and have finally found a solution. Eat lots of green leafy vegetable especially spinach. Basically anything with fibre will help.
If its really bad, try warm water with honey. Drink lots of water. My doc told me if nothing else works try Isabgol. But fortunately, spinach works..

Hello,

For constipation, have an apple along with meals at lunch and dinner. What i mean is as soon as u finish your lunch/dinner have an apple. It will relieve constipation. Just having an apple without meals will cause constipation. So in pregnancy the best remedy for constipation is having apple with meals. This way you will have the nutritional content of apple plus it will relieve constipation.
Also try to have lots of fibre in your diet , like salads, fruits instead of juices.

U can get rid of dizziness, by having some biscuits/crackers just before getting out of bed. U need to keep a box of biscuits at your bedside which will enable u to have it without getting out of bed.

Keep having something to eat every 2 hrs so that u donot feel weak and dizzy.

Thanks Madhu,
I will definitely try what you are saying. If it helps, it will be gr8.

Dizziness doesnt happen just in the morning, i do have it thruout the day. I also had Gest Diabetes last time and am monitoring my sugars this time too. It wavers a lot from very low to very high. That could be one of the reasons. I had a sweet drink this morning and that seemed to help. I am thinking of keeping some lollies with me. Lets see how it goes. I am sometimes scared that there is about 3/4 of pregnancy still to go...:)

Hows everything going for you?
