Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Constipation
In order to absorb all the nutrients that your developing baby requires, pregnancy hormones slow down your metabolism and this can lead to constipation.
Try increasing your intake of dietary fibre by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (especially leafy green vegetables) and drinking plenty of water to help avoid constipation.
Caffeine is also known to cause constipation so avoid drinking too much tea, coffee and fizzy drinks and obviously avoid alcohol which can not only cause constipation but can also harm your developing baby.
