I know how stressful first trimester constipation can be, it literally makes you anxious! But please do not use glycerol or any laxative without asking your doctor first. The first trimester is very delicate, so it’s always best to be 100% safe.
In our family, we are very careful in the first three months. I had bad constipation too, but I only took what my doctor prescribed after a proper consultation. Please call your clinic and ask your doctor if glycerol is safe for you right now.
I can't give medical advice, but personally, my doctor told me to avoid any self-medication in the first trimester. Instead, I cured my constipation naturally by drinking warm water and eating high-fiber foods. Definitely check with your gynac before using glycerol.
I'm planning my pregnancy and reading about all the safe remedies for constipation. Did your doctor suggest glycerol to you specifically? I've heard they prefer dietary changes first, so better to double-check with them.
My saas always recommended natural remedies like soaked prunes or warm milk with a little ghee at night instead of using any medical items. If you still want to use glycerol, please ask your doctor first because we shouldn't take risks in the first trimester.
My doctor told me that while glycerol suppositories are sometimes used for severe constipation, they should never be used without medical supervision in the first trimester. It’s always safer to increase your water intake and talk to your gynac for a safe prescription.
