Is lactulose safe in pregnancy?

Question

Constipation has become so bad in 2nd trimester, kuch help nahi kar raha. Someone at home suggested lactulose syrup. I wont take anything before checking with my gynac but wanted to know if others used it safely?

Mujhe bhi doctor ne constipation ke liye ye syrup diya tha hospital se. Yeh bilkul safe hai, bas thoda garam pani bhi piya karo din me.

My doctor prescribed lactulose syrup during my second trimester when nothing else worked. It worked really well for me without any side effects.

Actually yaar, my gynac gave me lactulose because the constipation was giving me bad stomach aches. It's safe, but do ask your doc once.

Ashmita Pradhan · Answer

My kid is a toddler now, but I remember taking lactulose whenever things got tough. It's safe, but also try drinking lots of water and eating fiber.
