Always want to defecate in early pregnancy

Always wanting to defecate in the early stages of pregnancy is a common symptom. This is because the uterus of a pregnant woman will enlarge, and the enlarged uterus will compress the rectum of the pregnant woman to a certain extent, causing the pregnant woman to feel the urge to defecate. Of course, in order to ensure the health of the mother during pregnancy and the healthy growth of the baby, there are some things that pregnant women need to pay attention to in terms of living habits and diet!

1. Why do I feel sleepy and want to defecate in the early stages of pregnancy?

After pregnancy, the human body will secrete a luteinizing hormone, which has the effect of protecting the fetus and preventing miscarriage. At the same time, it can also have an anesthetic effect on pregnant women, making them always feel tired and want to sleep. The reason you want to defecate in the early stages of pregnancy is that the enlarged uterus has a compressive effect, so you always feel like you want to defecate.

2. What are the precautions in early pregnancy?

1. Avoid or reduce sexual intercourse in the first three months of pregnancy, because the placenta and the uterine wall of the pregnant woman are not tightly connected in the early pregnancy. If sexual intercourse is improper, it may cause uterine contraction and lead to the possibility of miscarriage. Therefore, the first three months of pregnancy is a period when miscarriage is prone to occur, especially for pregnant women at high risk of miscarriage. In addition, improper sexual intercourse in early pregnancy may also cause vaginal infection, which is another reason why some doctors recommend that you avoid sexual intercourse in early pregnancy.

2. Early vaginal bleeding in pregnant women requires immediate medical attention. If vaginal bleeding is found, even if it is only a small amount, you should go to the hospital immediately for treatment, even if the vaginal bleeding seems to have stopped. While a small amount of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy may not be a big deal, it can be a sign of a serious problem. Therefore, you need to seek medical attention immediately to make sure that there are no problems with the pregnant woman and the fetus and to rule out the possibility of complications.

Spotting is light vaginal bleeding similar to the amount you'd experience at the beginning or end of your period. Vaginal bleeding may be pink, red, or brown (the color of dried blood). Vaginal bleeding can be heavy or even massive. If vaginal bleeding is severe or accompanied by severe pain, you may not be able to go to the emergency room right away.

3. Dietary recommendations for early pregnancy

1. Don’t drink too much water in the early stages of pregnancy. Eat more apples, bananas, and cherry tomatoes.

2. Meat, choose beef and mutton, which are safe and healthy for babies.

3. For staple food, you should eat more whole grains, so that your baby will have a comprehensive nutrition and will not be picky about food, such as corn, sweet potato, and millet.

4. Choose vegetables that are in season.

5. Kelp and seaweed should also be made into soup with shrimp skin and drunk before meals (to supplement calcium and iron).

6 Also, don’t forget to drink bone soup, but don’t make yourself too fat, and weigh yourself regularly.
