A member asked:
Am 13weeks pregnant&have bad constipation..is pushing hard when in the bathroom could hurt the baby or cause a misscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: This is a common scenario and is unlikely to be any trouble for the baby. I am sure your prenatal guide book that you have to read during your pregnancy talks about this; and how to have normal or regular bowel movements. It is safe to soften your stool with fluids, fiber and fruits.
