During this 35th week of pregnancy, your baby's growth has been progressing at a remarkable pace as your due date draws near. But the next three weeks could bring your baby's most rapid weight gains. Your baby is getting much bigger now that you're 35 weeks pregnant, as is your bump, and you may find that you have a tendency to become constipated in this late stage of pregnancy6. Including fibre-rich foods in your diet can help to maintain healthy bowel function, with different types of fibres having different functions in your digestive system. As a general rule soluble fibres can be fermented in the gut, while insoluble fibre is passed through whole. Gradually increasing your intake of both types of fibre should help maintain healthy bowel function for the rest of your pregnancy. Remember to drink plenty of water, and try doing some light exercise such as walking or yoga. Certain iron supplements may cause constipation so if you?re taking one, ask your healthcare professional if there?s another one you can try Fibre is only found in foods derived from plants. Soluble and insoluble fibres are often found together in foods so eating a variety of fibre-rich foods will provide a good mix of both types. Try some of the following fibre-rich food swaps to increase your fibre intake: Mashed potato swap to jacket potato Orange juice swap to whole orange Vegetable soup swap to vegetable and bean soup Chicken curry and rice swap to chicken and lentil curry with brown rice Talk to your gynecologist for a detailed list of menu. Take care.
