Pregnant and Constipated

constipation, fruits, papaya, Pregnant, prunes, rockmelon

I never had constipation in my life. Hubby is usually the one who always complain about this problem… and, I never understand how hard is it to just “let it go”… until I got pregnant. (sob sob… Chinese has a saying, pin don’t prick you – you don’t know the pain)

I started having constipation beginning around my week 17th pregnancy. All the sudden, my bowel system is not working right anymore. It’s a torture to have constipation and pregnant at the same time. I know it’s silly, but, I’m scare if I push too hard, I might hurt my baby (ya ya… silly I know).

I read up on so many home remedy for constipation. Quite shock to find out that it’s a very common problem for pregnant women.

Usually when you have constipation, the western side will encourage you to increase fiber in your diet. And. the Chinese believes that it’s cause by your very heaty body (just be really careful if you plan to counter it with Chinese herbs… I don’t really encourage it for first time pregnant women as Chinese herbs react very differently with different people). I actually stayed away from all kinds of Chinese herbs until I was 5 months pregnant.

How did I counter this problem? I had a lot a lot of vegetable and fruits. Bear in mind not all fruits are good for you. You really need to take a bit and test it out. I love rock melons but while pregnant, I couldn’t handle rock melons (or any other melons come to think of it). I got so bloated and it hurts my stomach.

Some of the fruits that really helped are Dragon fruit (I prefer the red variety cause it’s sweeter), papaya (some people avoid it because they believe it will cause jaundice for the baby), avocado, apple, orange, mangoes (I love this when pregnant) and the best of all is the prunes. I prefer the del monte prunes, seems fatter and juicer compare to the other brands.

Prunes

The prunes are like the ultimate cure for me. Every time before a meal, I’ll consume 1-2 pieces of the prunes. If the constipation is really bad, I will make myself a cup of prune juice. Basically what I do is smash 4-5 pieces of prune in a cup of hot water, and drink it in the morning. This always does the trick. ;p Hope it can help you too.

beach, Chateau de Roquefeuille, France, Juan les Pins, parma ham, restaurant le Festival de la Mer, rockmelon, rosé, seafood platter

Juan Les Pins is a really beautiful little seaside town at the southeastern France, on the Côte d’Azur (between Nice and Cannes). During the summer, this town is pack with tourist. On the winter however, it’s a different story. Most of the shops were close and this makes it hard to locate good restaurant at night. But, I love the peaceful and quiet pace during winter in Juan-Les-Pins.

It really lovely to take a nice long stroll along the beach after dinner while enjoying the cold air. Hub likes it because he claims it’s the only exercise I do. hahaha..

Restaurant le Festival de la Mer is one of my favorite place to go for dinner here. Main Reason, I LOVE seafood !!! And if you are in a seaside town, how can you not have seafood, right? Second Reason, I love the friendly services here. Not to mention, they have english menu ! hehehee…

Ta – Da !!! Look at the huge seafood platter for 2 !!! yum yum yum… it’s so fresh and you can practically taste the sea.

We ordered a Rosé (Chateau de Roquefeuille) to go with our meal… love it. very nice after taste and went really well with the seafood.

Hub ordered the parma ham savings with rock melon. It was really good. 

And also ordered Spaghetti alla vongole and Lamb with french bean.

By then, we were so stuff we couldn’t possibly try the desserts.

Sorry for the poor quality in pictures as I only use my phone camera.

Please check out their website for more details and clearer pictures. (btw, I just check their website and found that the menu is slightly different from when we ate there. Maybe they change seasonally ?)
