Due Date Club December 2005:Hi
2005-06-24
Name: Mom



Hi,

Please help. I am due Dec 9th and this is my second baby. I have bad constipation which started around the 14th week. I drink lot of prune juice and citracel, it helps a little. But in the last week I have seen few drops of blood from my Rectum. I called my Ob/GYN and they said nothing to worry and asked me to consult my physician since blood is from Rectum and not vagina. I spoke to my physician and she suggested to go for a stool softner, and take citracel. I did not take the stool softner because I am worried to take medicines. I only take lot of water, Citracel and prune juice.

Is there any one else who is in the same situation. Is this common?? I do not have any pain or anything, but once in couple of days I see very little blood during bowel movement.

Do I need to do anything else?? I read on the interenet that this is common during pregnancy. so just wanted to know if anyone is passing through the same situation and has done anything different to avoid or stop this.

Hi Mom,
As Rids and Newyork121 has suggested do regular walking. Because even I have this problem when I don't walk. Usually after office once I reach home, myself and my MIL take a stroll for nearly 45min to 1 hr and have coconut water(nariyal pani)daily. During these days I don't find any constipation problem. Also drink lots of water, if you are in India then you can try drinking tender coconut water(nariyal pani) which is really good for health.

take care

Hi Mom,

Im in my 15th week and have also noticed a bit of constipation troubling me, especially the days i dont get some time to walk. Im working full time and have a desk job that makes things difficult. Like NewYork suggested, try fruits and increase fibre, it will definitely help! I also take an evening walk for about 30 minutes a day that helps. U will feel better!

I am Newyork121 from Nov Board. Ask your doctor if you can do exercise. Like walking for 20 to 30 minutes twice in a day. Please follow a regular routin..like lunch time, dinner time and do not stay up late. Go to bed little early and get up early. Drink plenty of water in the morning but no cold water..little warm or room tempature.. Try to eat fresh fruits, Banana and green Vegetables.
DO not eat white bread..Try to include more fiber in diet...
Keep up updated...
Take Care!!!!

Avoid spicy food, specially with garam masala, and tomatoe ketchup (this also contain some ingredients that are not easily digested when your stomach is upset), one of acquaintance recently had the same problem and he was adviced all this..I also do the same if I feel constipated and it helps..you can lower the amount of spices for some time , if not completly avoid it, till the time you get better.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Yes I walk 30 minutes in the morning and after dinner I exercise for 15 minutes.
I eat two to three servings of Fruit everyday. But may be I need a little more walking and more liquids. Will try out all you suggestions.

Very good doctor
Hi,

I delived a baby boy in March 2009. I consulted Dr.Chitra Ramamurthy during my pregnancy cycle. She' s one of the best doctors in Bangalore. Not many people know about her. She handled the entire process in a very professional manner. I used to visit her clinic in Jayanagar 3rd block. She is very caring and affable. She says what to do and what not to do. ... - Sandhya Rao [View Message]

So long as your baby is feeding, that' s all that really matters. These days, formulas are packed with everything the baby needs, and although it is never as good as breast milk, it' s perfectly fine. It sounds like maybe what you are missing is the bonding that breast feeding provides? My first child had both breast and bottle milk for the first 6 months, when I had a mis... - Jhumri [View Message]
