Constipation
Treating constipation with acupuncture can have surprisingly immediate results.
Constipation can begin in early pregnancy from the rise in natural progesterone or if a woman is supplementing progesterone during fertility treatment. Progesterone slows down the muscle contractions that normally move your stool through the intestines.
Constipation can get worse if a woman is nauseous and decreases her fluid and dietary fiber intake. As much as possible try to drink lots of water and eat fruits, veggies and whole grains.
