Pooping

So im 21 weeks pregnant and OMG the gut pain when needing to poop got me questioning if I can even handle pain. 😅I have never experienced what the dogs call a shaky leg poo before but now I have. Idek if the needing to poop pain is something that is supposed to happen durning pregnancy. If it is, is there anything I can do/eat that will make pooping more idk pleasant. 🙃

I get it. I had the same thing through out my pregnancy. I tried stool softeners but that helps only on the 3rd day taking it day 1 and day 2. Something that helped me was Avocados, not 1 or 2 , having more Avocados a day , bananas some spinach and cutting down the cold water. I know the ice makes you feel calm during this time but warm water helped a little. If you are someone like me pooping a couple of days once then it might be a struggle try pooping daily.My intake was very little so I get to poop even 5days once 😅 something more in fiber, veggies but you need more fiber a day . I even tried enema and even Enemeez, it's a tube you can find in Amazon. But after so many weeks I could figure out with foods.

And yes , the shaky things happens during pregnancy. My magnesium was low from the beginning of pregnancy and during the delivery my legs were shaky and there i got the cramps in my legs , which was worst , Hope you get to eat more fiber and concentrate on magnesium levels Congrats on your pregnancy:)
