A member asked:
Im having sharp gas pains/constipation. it's unbearable. 10.5 weeks pregnant. dr says it could be the prenatal vitamin. any ideas for relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: mild stool softeners and or milk of magnesia are safe--NOT castor oil(American Indians used it to cause abortions). Try a prenatal vitamin without iron. Then use a non- sulfate iron for your iron supplement
