Constipation has been really bad this trimester and someone suggested senna leaves. Im a bit nervous about taking anything random while pregnant. Will check with my doc too but wanted to hear if anyone used it safely?
Dont self medicate with senna yaar. For constipation I managed with more water, fruits, and fibre which the doctor suggested. If that doesnt work, let your gynac decide on anything stronger.
Beta, for constipation we used simple things like soaked raisins, warm water and plenty of fruit. For medicines like this, dont take on your own, ask your doctor first. Gentle natural ways are safer for small issues.
Senna is a laxative and you really shouldnt take it on your own during pregnancy. If constipation is the issue, your doctor can suggest safe options. Please just check with your gynac before taking any laxative.
