A member asked:
I'm pregnant and very constipated. stool softeners and prune juice ain't doing the trick. can this be bad and are enemas safe?! what else can i do?

Safe laxatives: There are many safe laxatives to try if necessary. Are you drinking enough water daily? Are you eating high fiber foods? Talk to your doctor about whether she has a preference for dulcolax, miralax, (polyethylene glycol) or a different product. Both are safe in pregnancy.
