A member asked:
33 weeks pregnant , constipated and having cramping in lower belly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Constipation is quite common in pregnancy. If drinking more water and adding fiber to your diet (either naturally or through a product like fibercon) doesn't work, your doctor may advise a stool softener such as colace (docusate sodium). This can be bought over the counter. If that regimen doesn't help, your doctor may recommend a stronger laxative. Make sure your cramps are constipation and not preterm labor!
