Constipation can occur for a number of reasons, such as:  recent travel, sudden change to diet, side effect of medication, lack of exercise, poor diet, and even dehydration.  Add to that list blockages, polyps, and even colon cancer—and it becomes easy to see why most of us prefer to not even talk about their constipation problems with our doctor.  However, during pregnancy and in some cases just prior to the ovulation cycle, women may experience constipation problems as a result of hormones and other facters.

While pregnant, the muscles in the intestines will actually relax as a result of increased levels of progesterone in the body as a result of the pregnancy.  The relaxing of the intestinal muscles will ultimately slow the progression of food and waste through the gastrointestinal tract and cause constipation problems as a result.  This will happen because the delays will cause the stool to harden making it more difficult for your body to evacuate the waste during a bowel movement.  Plus, there is the chance for a blockage to form and create even further constipation problems that could literally affect the pregnancy.  It is imperative to consult with your obstetrician if constipation problems arise during pregnancy as it may potentially be partially caused by the prenatal care (more on this later). 

If the increased levels of progesterone have had no affect upon the intestines, it is still possible to have constipation problems during pregnancy as a result of the fetus itself.  This generally happens during the final trimester when the fetus will put pressure upon the lower intestines and create blockages or other constipation problems that may complicate the pregnancy. 

Even if hormones and a developing fetus are not the source, constipation during pregnancy may be caused by the prenatal care itself.  Iron and calcium supplements are commonly prescribed during pregnancy and both have been known to cause constipation problems so pay attention to your bowel movements when taking any medications relating to your pregnancy.  There is little that can be done during pregnancy to treat constipation problems as normal treatment options may harm the fetus.  Aside from proper diet including plenty of fiber and water, there is little that can be done about constipation problems during pregnancy.

The ovulation cycle is another time when the hormones may cause constipation problems.  However, it is possible for a physician to prescribe birth control pills as a treatment option for constipation problems relating to ovulation so at least some potential relief is available.  However, for both pregnant women and those with constipation problems due to ovulation, there is another possible solution.

Although laxatives and other traditional forms of treatment for constipation problems may not be an option for expectant mothers, it may be possible to use a colon cleanser to treat acute symptoms and alleviate blockages.  It is important to remember to find colon cleansers made from all natural ingredients.  Cleansers made with chemicals for the active ingredients may cause dehydration or other side effects that may be harmful for the baby and the mother.
