Digestive difficulties, such as constipation and diarrhea, may occur frequently during pregnancy. It could be due to shifting hormones, changes in diet, and added stress. These following steps may help:
- Stay hydrated, drink 3 liters of water per day
- Don't skip meals instead have a liquid diet containing soups and juices and slowly increase to solid diet based on how the food can be tolerated.
- Avoid spicy, oily, deep fried and junk food
- Avoid tea, coffee and carbonated drinks.
If the condition persists or worsens kindly visit the ER at the earliest.
