Suggest Treatment For Painful Bowel Movements During Pregnancy

I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I thought I was getting an urge for a bowel movement. After lots of pushing, intervention, etc. for 45 minutes I bled and it s still stuck and very painful. I feel like I m going to faint. What should I do? Very traumatic. I already eat plenty of whole grains, fruit and water.

As you are already taking fiber rich diet and still having problem in bowel evacuation, you can take powders containing isapgol husk such as Naturolax powder, which are considered as safe during pregnancy. You can take one spoon of the powder mixed in 60ml of water 1-3 times daily.
