I'm 12 weeks pregnant and got severe constipation. can i use an enema to relieve myself? i've been casually drinking sena tea which helps at times.

Yes you could: Pregnancy is not a contraindication to use enema. However, I suggest you try again Senna in any presentation and increase you fiber (fruits and vegetablels) and water intake. Take care!
