Constipation is a very common condition affecting pregnant women.
The digestive tract extracts the beneficial elements from food and then must eliminate the remainder as waste. The whole process takes 1-3 days, the time varying from one individual to another. Hormonal changes may slow this process and also the addition of Iron in the Prenatal Vitamin exacerbates the condition.

This waste is propelled through the entire digestive tract by muscular contractions.
