TMI

[distortedmind89]

Ok so up till this week (15 Weeks) I have been constantly constipated, now when I need to go I really need to go. It's not diharria (not sure how to spell that word) so i'm not overly concerned.

Is it normal for bowel movements to return to normal in second trimester? Well semi normal as obviously bowel movement is regular again but also very quick and urgent when I need to go.

I thought it may have something to do with my folic acid in take stopping, need to get some more on Monday.

Eat lots of kiwifruit. Im 9wks 2days and have the same problem! I eat 2-3 small kiwifruit a day and I can usually go semi regularly. A day without and then its 3 days before I go again and its hard and sore

Honestly everything is all out of wack during pregnancy , so your bowel habits change frequently , even diarrhea is common. All 3 of my pregnancies I never had "normal" bath room habits. It's a combo of hormones, baby squishing everything, stress, vitamins.. Etc .. Just talk to your dr if your concerned

Folic acid will definitely Constipate you. And it's normal for symptoms like your to come and go, I'd talk to your Dr about it and see what you can do.
