How to take isabgol for constipation in pregnancy?

Question

I've been facing a lot of constipation lately and it's quite uncomfortable. My mom suggested isabgol, but I'm not sure about the right way to take it or if it's safe during pregnancy. Could anyone share their experience?

Oh god, pregnancy constipation is the worst! I used to mix isabgol in warm water and chug it quickly like medicine before it got thick, it really saved my life.

Beta, raat ko sone se pehle gungune doodh ke sath ek chammach isabgol le liya karo. Bas pani khoob peena pure din, nahi toh pet saaf nahi hoga.

You can take one spoon of isabgol mixed in a glass of warm water or milk at night. But if the constipation is very painful or severe, please check with your doctor.

I am struggling with this too! Can we take isabgol daily or only once in a while? Let me know what your doctor suggested.

I am planning my pregnancy and already worried about these digestion issues. Is isabgol really safe to take throughout the nine months?
