Hi, i am 11 weeks pregnant. can i take movicol for constipation. if not what can i safely use. i have tried everything and not getting relief. thanks.

Movicol: Can be taken during pregnancy, don't exceed recommended dosage, read the labels carefully, if it doesn't work fir you within a couple of days, hold it and see your doctor. Other routine tactics to avoid constipation: plain fluids, prune juice, increase fruits a vegetables in your diet, wish you a healthy pregnancy and a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby

Fiber & water: You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods.
