I just made a call to my doctor because I have been dealing with constipation for a while now being pregnant and have taken miralax to try and get it under control but nothing has worked. I've been reading that constipation can sometimes stall labor from happening naturally so my doctor suggested liquid magnesium citrate to see if it helps because I feel like I'm constantly backed up and it's been about 4 days now. Has anyone tried this before?

I've used that stuff before although I wasn't pregnant. Just stay around a toilet for a few days after you drink it.

I mean it's not going to hurt. The dr wouldn't have prescribed it if it would

I'm definitely going to try it then @shortizzie because I've been having contractions and have dialated and effaced but my contractions aren't consistent so I'm thinking it's because I'm backed up

I have not tried that but I think that whole stalling labor thing is true because everyone I know (including myself) all had like diarrhea the week before we went into labor
