Constipation, early pregnancy symptoms?

Marisa

Hi ladies,

I am usually VERY regular. I am active, eat healthy and #2 has never ever been my issue. We are 8 days out until my period and my last pregnancy test had a very (very) faint line. After looking at it and analyzing it with my husband and friends we’ve decided to just wait for more accurate results closer just to be sure we aren’t seeing something out of excitement! However I have had a few symptoms such as cramping, spotting (1 day very lightly) and the worst is constipation! 4 days now. I consulted my doctor and she recommended an over the counter medication safe for pregnancy just in case! Could this be a symptom? Or just a coincidence? Has anyone ever had this before related to early pregnancy?

Any knowledge is very much appreciated! Thanks! :-)
