What is a safe laxative to use when pregnant?
When you're pregnant, constipation can be a real pain (literally!). Some safe laxatives to use during pregnancy include:1. Stool softeners: Look for over-the-counter stool softeners containing docusate sodium or psyllium.
2. Bulk-forming laxatives: Fiber supplements such as Metamucil or Benefiber can help add bulk to your stool.
3. Glycerin suppositories: These rectal suppositories can help stimulate bowel movements.
4. Magnesium hydroxide: This antacid can also work as a laxative.
Always consult your doctor or healthcare provider before taking any laxatives during pregnancy to ensure you choose the safest option for you and your baby.
