Constipation has been really bad these last few weeks and i used to take dulcolax before pregnancy. Now im scared to take anything without checking. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted to know if any of you used it during pregnancy?
Before reaching for any laxative, try more water, fibre, fruits and a little walking, that fixed my constipation mostly. For medicine, ask your gynac which is okay rather than picking dulcolax yourself. Mine guided me when food alone wasnt enough.
Please dont take any laxative like dulcolax on your own during pregnancy. I had constipation and my doctor recommended a safe option for me specifically. It is better to let the doctor choose, since some laxatives arent advised.
Some laxatives are considered okay in pregnancy and some arent, so dont self decide on dulcolax. A quick word with your doctor will tell you what is safe for you. Meanwhile fibre and fluids help a lot naturally.
