Disgusting Things That Pregnancy Does To Your Body

Constant Constipation

Constipation is a familiar problem for many pregnant women. This is because not only are they trying to eat for two, they are also trying to drink for two. Unfortunately, the increased levels of progesterone contribute to the problem by slowing down the digestive process, which exacerbates the problem. Additionally, pregnant women have a much smaller bladder (thanks to that growing baby inside them) which makes them pee all the time. Due to constipation, some pregnant women also develop haemorrhoids.The best way to reduce the chance of developing constipation is to eat fibrous foods and drink lots of water. Though, if constipation is severe, it's important to go see a doctor.
