When does constipation appear in the first trimester of pregnancy

summary

After pregnancy, under the influence of endocrine estrogen, the placenta secretes a large amount of progesterone, which reduces the secretion of gastric acid, reduces the muscle tension of gastrointestinal tract, and weakens the ability of muscle peristalsis. This will make the food stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time. Make the stool dry and hard. Now I'm going to teach pregnant women how to change their constipation by doing small things in their daily life.

When does constipation appear in the first trimester of pregnancy

First: develop a good habit of defecating on time. Get up early and drink a cup of cold honey water or boiled water before breakfast. This can promote the upright reflex and colon reflex after getting up. It's a good habit to defecate in the morning.

The second is to enter the toilet in time. As soon as you have a sense of defecation, you should go to the toilet in time. Don't tolerate defecation. It's easy to form constipation. Keep a relaxed mind when defecating.

Third: eat more food to promote defecation. Fruits, vegetables, grains and potatoes rich in cellulose, such as bananas, pears, spinach, celery, leeks and sweet potatoes, can promote intestinal peristalsis and help pregnant women defecate.

matters needing attention

Keep exercising. Many pregnant women have constipation because they are clumsy and lazy during pregnancy, especially in late pregnancy. Moderate exercise can enhance the gastrointestinal peristalsis function of pregnant women and reduce constipation.
