A member asked:
I often get constipated...i was wondering if pushing really hard can hurt the baby during pregnancy? does the baby feel that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation pushing: Pushing during pregnancy should be limited to delivery of the new infant not delivering something more distasteful. Increase the fiber in your diet and drink plenty of water during the day to help alleviate your "delivery issue".
