I am one month pregnant and facing constipation. Can I take syrup smuth. Is it safe in pregnancy? Or I just ignore constipation?

Hello, Constipation is common ailment in pregnancy mainly due to atonicity of the gut due to hormone progesterone, diminished physical activity and pressure of the pregnant uterus on the pelvic colon. Regular bowel movement may be facilitated by physical activity, regulation of diet taking plenty of fluids, fruits and vegetables or prescribing stool softener at bedtime. Yes, syrup smuth is safe and can be taken.
