Overview
Pregnancy constipation is no different than constipation you experience normally. So, its diagnosis is heavily reliant on the symptoms you are experiencing.
How is Pregnancy Constipation Diagnosed?
When you consult your primary healthcare provider or OBGYN regarding your pregnancy constipation, they will first ask about the symptoms.
Depending on your symptoms, your doctor might also ask about the kind of diet you are eating and the lifestyle you are leading. If you aren’t eating enough fiber in your diet, your doctor will advise including more.
Generally, there are no official tests to diagnose pregnancy constipation. It is diagnosed just by the symptoms.
