QUES: I would NEVER take castor oil to induce labor. But I heard it causes you to use the bathroom.…

I don't see why you couldn't take laxatives.. I'd ask you physician but laxatives shouldn't be a problem

i would.definitly ask your doctor what they reccomend, but mine said to take miralax once a day (its a stool softener not a laxative)..i just buy the kind you put in your drink and drink it with some juice in the mornings and add a little fiber to your diet, i just went and got some fiber one muffins and ate them in the mornings and have been going normally ever since! sometimes if your on an iron supplement or the iron in your prenatals causes constipation. hope that helps a little! @abella1023

@aphrodite2014, thank you! I will ask my dr. I have an appt on Wednesday. It's just since they both kinda do the same thing (help go number 2) I was curious😁 but I'll just wait😩 lol

in small doses it should be fine and even though it does the same thing they aren't the same base product

my doc gave me this

@babystump16, I got fiber1 cereal today so I'm going to try that. I've tried miralax when I was about 3-4 months and it made me puke! I could taste in the juice lol so I'll just wait to ask my dr. Thank you 😉

milk of mag is fine because its a saline laxative...but other laxatives can cause contractions thats why they tell you to only take stool softeners

@aphrodite2014, yeah makes sense they completely different things. Thank you😌

@wrd2016, thank you! I had a list like this too I was just worried since I'm further along I don't want it to cause the baby to poop inside too 😔 that's dangerous.

@aurielshantel, thank you 😊

my doctor just gave me this list not even a month ago so when I was 30 weeks. I'd say your fine. just don't take too much :)
