Constipation is killing me this whole week, bohot uncomfortable. Someone at home has this syrup but i didnt take it yet. Is it ok during pregnancy? will ask my doc also but wanted others views.
I had a healthy normal delivery, and my doctor had prescribed lactulose in my final weeks to keep my digestion smooth. It worked well for me, but definitely get a green light from your doctor first.
I completely understand how stressful and uncomfortable constipation can make you feel, it is truly awful. Lactulose is commonly prescribed, but please check with your doctor first to ease your mind and get the correct dose.
Along with whatever your doctor prescribes, try increasing your fiber intake and doing gentle daily walks to keep your digestion moving. Never take any laxatives like lactulose without asking your gynac first.
Look, lactulose is standard for pregnancy constipation, but that doesn't mean you buy it over the counter. Call your doctor, ask for the correct dosage, and also drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Dealing with constipation during pregnancy is so frustrating, especially with hormonal imbalances. Lactulose was prescribed to me by my doctor, but please get your own doctor's confirmation before taking it.
Oh my god, constipation made me so worried that I would strain too much! I was scared to take lactulose too, but my doctor assured me it was safe. Please call your doctor to confirm so you don't keep stressing over it.
My doctor gave me lactulose during my third trimester and it helped me safely without any issues. However, since every pregnancy is different, it is best to ask your healthcare provider before taking it.
Ghar pe everyone told me to drink warm milk with a spoon of ghee at night for constipation, which helped a lot. If you want to take lactulose syrup, please make sure your doctor has explicitly allowed it first.
I asked my hospital's medical coordinator about this and they said lactulose is safe, but they still had my doctor write a proper prescription first. Always clarify with your hospital staff before taking anything.
Lactulose is generally safe as it isn't absorbed into the bloodstream, but you should still get your gynac's nod before starting it. Don't self-medicate during pregnancy, always consult.
