Constipation has been killing me this trimester and someone at home suggested this. But i dont want to take anything without being sure its fine for the baby. I will ask my gynac too but wanted to hear from you all first.
I had bad constipation both pregnancies and my doctor did prescribe me something for it, but I won't tell u to take any specific medicine. Pls confirm with your own gynac first. Alongside, more water, fibre, fruits and a little walking really helped me too.
Honestly the rule with any medicine in pregnancy is dont take it unless your doctor okays it for u. Constipation is super common and there are safe options docs prescribe, so just call your gynac and ask, they'll guide u properly.
I won't comment on the medicine itself but personally my doctor is the one who decided what I could take for constipation in pregnancy. Please dont self start any medicine, even a common one, without your gynac saying yes for your case.
Constipation in pregnancy is so annoying I know, but dear please dont take any medicine without asking your doctor first. Try water, soaked raisins and fibre meanwhile, and let the gynac decide on anything beyond that.
