Hello Tosin. I'm sure you're not alone in this. Pregnancy comes with all sort of symptoms peculiar to each individual due to the physiological changes the body. Some meds cause excessive bloating and constipation. Diet is also integral. Have you tried high fiber diet, fruits and vegetables? Other causes are anxiety, not passing stool on time. Give it time, I'm sure it will soon pass. If not, consult your doctor. Cheers.
