A member asked:
Can you have really bad constipation cramps while your pregnant ? does or hurt the baby ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation common: Many women get constipated when they are pregnant. Drinking lots of water and eating plenty of fiber containing foods can help. Many women need a stool softener or a fiber supplement. Constipation does not hurt the baby. If you are not sure if you are cramping from constipation or in preterm labor, call your doctor.
