It : It may or may not be associated with your pregnancy. Especially since it feels more like constipation. However, have you been having adequate, regular bowel movements? If not, ensure that you are drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day, eating 5 servings of vegetable and 4 servings of fruit. Take in quality fiber. If you are not already taking prenatal vitamins then start now. They contain more folate (folic acid) and iron that regular multiple vitamins.
