A member asked:
I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. is it normal that i don't have constipation in my pregnancy but i did with my first pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The simple answer is that the first pregnancy and subsequent delivery have "rearranged and expanded" the pelvic cavity to allow more space for rectal expansion without constriction. Secondly, your 7 week pregnancy has not yet put any pressure on the rectum as it will at a later date in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
