so I may have done a bad thing....
I've been soooo constipated and I just took laxatives not even thinking and I'm starting to have mild contractions.....
should I worry??? :o
They're probably BH. Laxatives can cause sympathetic contractions because the smooth muscles of your intestines touch your uterus. Its the same reason people say castor oil works. Try Miralax or another stool softener. Much gentler! And unless the contractions progress I wouldn't stress. It takes a LOT to force a baby out lol. I know, I was 10 days overdue with a 31 hour induction. :b
Next time try those. Don't add to what is already in your system.
