Did I hurt baby?

Question

So I’ve been constipated for a few days (tmi sorry) and I finally had a bowel movement, but I was straining to go! It was a pretty “big” poo, lol 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m 20 weeks. Is there a chance I hurt my baby from pushing so hard?

Answer

Baby is fine. I would talk to your doctor about a stool softener if it's a constant issue. I was constipated from the beginning of my current pregnancy until about 2 weeks ago at 37 weeks. It was torture.

Answer

You should be fine.  I'd start making a habit of eating a few prunes though.  My mom ate 3 prunes a day when she was pregnant with me and said she never dealt with constipation during her pregnancy.

Answer

Nope you're good :)
