Constipation normal in pregnancy ?

Question

I have been pooping way more than normal and my rectum hurts so much from pooping and being constipated . Is this normal? I’m 14 weeks 5 days

Answer

Yep, it’s almost impossible to avoid constipation when you’re pregnant because the increased progesterone slows down your digestive system so much. 
Either speak to your doctor or research pregnancy safe medications you can take to help.

Answer

Yes normal in pregnancy. Try grape/prune juice mixture or Metamucil instead of straining to poop. I don’t think you want hemorrhoids!
