Constipation is a common (although rarely discussed) issue pregnant women experience. Constipation can occur due to a number of factors including reduced gastrointestinal motility, diet changes, morning sickness, dehydration, and reduced activity level. New moms can have this same issue postpartum due to the same reasons, as well as pain medication use! Not to mention bowel movement avoidance (hello pain following childbirth)! Our Registered Dietitians can give you helpful food, movement, and supplement choices that will reduce or altogether resolve your symptoms!
