Constipation is killing me these days and my MIL keeps suggesting senna tea ghar pe. I havent taken it yet, want to know if its actually okay during pregnancy before i try anything.
I cant really say if its safe, I never used it. When I was badly blocked up I just called my gynac and she sorted it with something safe. I would do the same here rather than guess.
Arre dont jump to such strong things beta. For motions try warm water in the morning, prunes, papaya. If it still doesnt clear up then only ask the doctor, dont self medicate.
Please dont take senna on your own. Strong laxatives like that can cause cramping and arent recommended in pregnancy. I had constipation issues and my doctor gave me a safe option instead, ask yours before taking anything.
I wouldnt use senna without asking the gynac. For constipation I just added more fiber, water and a few soaked figs, that did the job. Laxatives should always be doctor approved in pregnancy.
Generally senna is something doctors prefer you avoid or use only if they prescribe it, because it can stimulate the gut quite strongly. Better to fix constipation with diet first and let the doctor decide if you need anything more.
