Preeclampsia is a dangerous condition in which a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It can lead to stroke or impaired kidney function and decreased blood flow to the placenta. Recent findings indicate that women who increased their fiber intake during the first trimester of pregnancy had a lower risk of preeclampsia.  Konsyl pregnancy supplements like Konsyl Original Formula contain 6 grams of psyllium fiber per dose.

Constipation means that a person has three or fewer bowel movements in a week. The stool can be hard and dry. Sometimes it is painful to pass. Constipation is common in women in general, but particularly in pregnant women. Fiber increases the amount of water content in fecal matter, creating more bulk and softer, well-formed stools. It is a natural treatment to help the bowel system function and will enable you to avoid harsh, irritating effects of habit forming stimulant laxatives.

Especially during the third trimester, many pregnant women get hemorrhoids (also called "piles"). Hemorrhoids are more common if the woman is constipated. Hemorrhoids are a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed. Fiber produces a softer fecal mass and encourages better regularity with less straining and irritation.
