One: One should really be enough. Take it at bedtime. If you do not have a BM in the morning, you may take another. Taking too many could cause cramping. (But won't interfere with your pregnancy).

Dosing Dulcolax: You can take 1-3 five mg tablets twice a day as needed. I prefer the use of magnesium based laxatives. Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) 30 to 60 ml ( 2-4 TBS) up to four times per day or magnesium citrate 15 to 30 ml by mouth twice a day.(adjust the dose up or down to ensure soft, but not loose stools).
