Constipation is really bad these days, nothing is helping. Im 25 weeks. Someone mentioned lactulose, is it safe to take while pregnant? Will ask my gynac also but wanted to hear here first.
Constipation can be very difficult during these months, dear. My mother-in-law advised me to drink warm milk with a little ghee at night, but when it didn't work, my doctor said lactulose is safe to take. Please ask your doctor for the correct advice before taking it.
Lactulose is actually an osmotic laxative and is generally considered safe in pregnancy because it doesn't get absorbed into your bloodstream. But don't start it on your own; always let your gynecologist know so they can monitor your digestion and dosage.
Oh, I completely feel your pain, constipation during pregnancy is just the worst and makes you feel so heavy! My doctor prescribed lactulose to me and it was very gentle on my stomach. Definitely check with your gynac once, they will help you feel comfortable again.
I know how painful and stressful pregnancy constipation can be, especially when you are already taking so many hormones. Lactulose was suggested to me by my doctor and it really helped, but please talk to your clinic first before taking anything new. Sending you comforting thoughts.
I used to get terrible constipation while managing office work and pregnancy. My doctor allowed lactulose occasionally, and it was a lifesaver. But also make sure to drink at least 3 liters of water and eat high-fiber oats or green veggies daily to help it naturally.
