I've been dealing with constipation and was prescribed lactulose before pregnancy. Is it safe to continue taking lactulose daily now that I'm pregnant, or should I consult my doctor again?
Constipation is a nightmare when you're working, but taking lactulose daily without doctor's advice isn't safe. My gynac told me to focus on high-fiber food and lots of water instead of daily syrups.
In my pregnancy, my doctor did prescribe lactulose for a short time, but warned against daily use. It's best to ask your gynac what is safe for your body.
I had bad constipation too, but don't worry, it gets better! Try eating papaya (if in later months) or high-fiber foods, and check with your doc before taking daily lactulose.
Arey, don't stress too much about constipation, it's super common! But seriously, don't take lactulose every day on your own. Just call your doctor and ask what's safe, okay?
You can track your daily water and fiber intake on a pregnancy app to help with constipation. For medicines like lactulose, always consult your gynac before making it a daily habit.
