Constipation has been really bad these days and someone at home suggested dulcolax. Im hesitant to take any medicine on my own while pregnant. Has anyone used it during pregnancy or did ur doctor say to avoid it?
Some laxatives are used in pregnancy but only under doctor guidance, dosage and type matter. I really wouldn't decide this from the internet. Ask your gynac and they'll tell you what suits you.
I wouldn't take any laxative in pregnancy without asking my doctor first. Constipation is super common but the medicine part should be doctor decided. Please call your gynac before taking dulcolax.
Dont start any laxative on your own while pregnant. For constipation I increased water, fruits, fibre and that helped a lot. If it's really bad, ask your doctor what's safe rather than picking up dulcolax yourself.
Before reaching for any tablet I tried soaked raisins, papaya, lots of water and walking, it eased my constipation a lot. For an actual medicine like dulcolax please confirm with your gynac, dont self prescribe.
