Safe meds: Ask your OB if they have a llst of meds for pregnancy. On my list i put milk of magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) colace, fiber supplements like metamucil and fibercon, prunes and prune juice, dulcolax. The generics of most of these are ok too. In general increase your fiber intake during your pregnancy.
