A member asked:
Do you have to wait a certain amount of time to do a saline enema after a mineral oil one? is this safe being pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: You do not have to wait a certain amount of time and enemas are safe while pregnant. The more important question though is why you are suffering from such severe constipation where this is necessary. I would schedule an evaluation with your obgyn for an exam. increasing water intake and fiber supplementation should help
