A member asked:

Before i knew i was pregnant itook a lot of laxatives(liquid bottle one, the chocolate one and the tea)do you think my baby is going to be ok ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely a problem: It is unlikely to be a problem and you can't change ot anyway at this point so my suggestion would be to take a deep breath and move on.
