5 Ways to Help Pregnancy Constipation
Magic is happening inside your body, but it comes with a side effect for over 75% of women – constipation! If that’s you, here are some simple, natural ways to treat it!
1 . Hydration, hydration, hydration.
We all know that we need to drink our water, but did you know that it’s particularly important for maintaining a healthy digestive system? It can be the first step in helping things move along when you’re feeling constipated. We’re told that eight 8oz glasses per day are key, but try to up that by a couple of glasses while pregnant.
2. Eat smaller meals.
Large meals take a long time to break down, while smaller meals give the body less of a workload. Aim to eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day rather than 3 large, dense meals. This will give your body a rest (and may also help you feel more satisfied and full throughout the day).
3. Maintain a light exercise schedule.
In the second and third trimester (the periods where pregnancy constipation usually hits the hardest), it begins to get more difficult to exercise. But, any form of movement is good and can actually do wonders for digestion! When all else fails, go for a nice evening stroll.
4. Increase your fiber intake.
Aim to add a bit of extra fiber to your meals in the form of beans, peas, apples, oats, chia seeds, and other fiber-rich foods. Fiber helps your food break down and also helps to absorb water. Its benefits provide the magic combo for digestion.
5. Amp up the magnesium.
Over 75% of women aren’t meeting their daily magnesium requirement. This nutrient plays a very large role in digestion, which helps to explain why so many women are experiencing constipation. Consider adding a magnesium supplement to your diet to regulate your system.
is a 3-magnesiums blend that works to relieve constipation, reduce bloating, and even support morning sickness & sleep! To go one step further, you can also consider probiotics, specifically those that contain bifidobacterium infantis.

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant with my second baby and was starting to have trouble sleeping through the night (with my first I gave up on sleep at this point). I started taking Digest and Destress about 2.5 weeks ago and really started to notice a difference the last week. Despite having a million things on my mind and multiple trips to the bathroom at night I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep now. Digest and Destress is officially a part of my night time routine.

After using your product, I slept throughout the entire night for the first time in months! I've taken other magnesium supplements however nothing has been as effective as yours. I have now incorporated this supplement into my PM routine and am constantly sleeping so much better. Extra bonus points for the digestive enzymes that are also making my belly function like clock work....Thank you!!
