Pregnancy is Amazing, Until It’s Not…

Pregnancy Constipation is one of those ailments you don’t hear a ton about but can cause mamas a lot of discomfort. Whether you’re a few weeks along or just about to give birth, pregnancy constipation can leave you feeling sluggish and uncomfortable throughout the day.

Pregnancy Constipation, Say What?

In terms of causes for pregnancy constipation, there are a few culprits while you’re expecting. Firstly, your digestive system just simply slows up so that your that body can absorb as much of the good stuff as possible from the food you ingest for your baby.  As you can imagine, this can cause some major havoc for your digestive system (all for a good cause of course!).  The second major culprit is Iron which is absolutely essential during pregnancy and your requirement increases.  Most Prenatal Vitamins have higher levels of iron to accommodate these new pregnancy requirements in your body that can just simply create a traffic jam!

What to Do?

One of the big problems for expectant mamas is all the confusion about what are safe and trusted solutions during pregnancy. Eating habits need to change to include an increased amount of fiber and liquid intake and when you’re uncomfortable you just don’t feel like eating right.

Sometimes we’re just so busy that our diet and water intake don’t get the attention that they need and constipation is a symptom to tell you there’s something wrong!

So, now on to the solution!

What are solutions for constipation during pregnancy that contain ingredients you can pronounce confidently?   

Pre and Probiotic + Fiber Chews

 Preventing Pregnancy Constipation Before it Starts 

One of the reasons our systems slow to a halt throughout pregnancy is the lack of fiber and good probiotics in our diets. Restoring the good bacteria in our digestive tracts promotes better gut health and a stronger immune system.

Double the power for your sluggish digestive system packed into one tasty chew.
