Constipation during pregnancy can be extremely uncomfortable and is common with studies finding 20-30% of women deal with constipation at some point during their pregnancy.
There are various reasons this occurs and can be due to:
🤍 Progesterone, this hormone rises in pregnancy & slows motility to allow for more nutrient absorption in the small intestine
🤍 The growing uterus can place pressure on organs
🤍 Prenatal supplements which contain iron & some morning sickness medications can increase constipation
If you’re after a great electrolyte I love .co and their cola flavour 💕
