      Causes of constipation in pregnant women

      Hormonal changes after pregnancy cause intestinal peristalsis to slow down, which can easily cause constipation.

      What to do if pregnant women have constipation:

      The sooner constipation is treated, the better, otherwise it may lead to other problems. The doctor can prescribe you some laxatives, such as lactulose, but the best way is to pay attention to your usual diet, drink plenty of water, and eat more high-fiber foods, such as wheat bran, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole-wheat bread, pasta, and rice. >>>  Six types of pregnant women who should not drink milk
