Constipation During Pregnancy
Articles / 7 July, 2022
Most women complain of constipation during pregnancy, which means questions about using laxatives during pregnancy are frequent, as well. If you are experiencing constipation during pregnancy, don't just take a laxative. Ask your pharmacist if that laxative is Safe to Use During Pregnancy. Do well to learn from this pregnant lady who came to make enquiry from her pharmacist concerning her choice of laxative; Client: Good morning pharmacist. Pharmacist: Good morning madam, how may i help you today? Client: Yea, I want to know if I can use aloe vera juice, which has been my usual way of managing constipation. Can I take it now that I am pregnant? Pharmacist: No ma, Although aloe vera juice is considered healthy, it is not always safe for pregnant women. The laxative nature of aloin (anthraquinone) and the latex in aloe vera, is known to cause uterine contractions leading to miscarriage and electrolyte imbalance in the intestines. So, if you are experiencing constipation, you should consider some other natural suggestions for relieving constipation, such as; fighting it with fibre; fibre- rich foods help you eliminate waste. Try to avoid refined grains (white bread, white rice, refined cereals and pasta) when you can; they tend to back things up. Drinking many glasses of fluids (water, vegetable or fruit juice and broth) every day keeps solids moving through your digestive tract and makes your stool soft and easier to pass. Consider your supplements and medications. Many of the supplements and medications that do a pregnant woman’s body good (prenatal vitamins, calcium and iron supplements) can exacerbate constipation. So, check with your practitioner about alternatives or adjustments in dosages until the situation improves. Get your fill of probiotics. The probiotic acidophilus, found in yogurts that contain active cultures, stimulate the intestinal bacteria to break down food better to keep things moving. You can also ask your practitioner to recommend a good probiotic supplement. Regular exercise during pregnancy also encourages regular bowel movements. Stay away from stimulant laxatives. Not all laxatives and stool softeners (especially herbal or homemade ones) are safe for use during pregnancy. Talk to your practitioner before taking any constipation medication or remedy.
