Ok : it is ok to strain with a bowel movement. Try adding fresh fruit, vegetables , and fiber to your diet. If that doesn't work, stool softeners are ok. Drink lots of water.

At 2 weeks pregnant?: The average bowel frequency in america varies from 3 movements daily to 1 every 3-4 days. Whether you have colon inertia, rectal dyssynergia, partial obstruction (intrinsic or extrinsic), ischemic gut, metabolic "imbalance", irritable bowel syndrome, U can get checked & treated. Pregnancy may alter GI transit. Is this a new problem? Tried stool softeners, upped fluid intake, or fiber supplements?
