Laxatives & stool softeners during pregnancy

Postby Jen » 12 Mar 2010, 10:22

Anyone have an opinion on what safe or whats not in this catagory? Every doctor I talk to has a differnt opinion on this and it seems I can't get a straight answer. Anyone have any personal expirience with this?

I think Miralax would be safe as they give it to babies. Congratulations! Hope everything is going well for you!!!

Cheryl -
Some doctors say miralax is safe and some don't. I personally think it is safe too. My doctor told me not to take it, but I disagree with him totally. I was reading some old posts and Cinderella took lactulose while pregnant, which is mush harsher than miralax.

This website has a list of medications that are supposed to be safe during pregnancy. I just had my baby 2 months ago. I'm breastfeeding now, so I still have to be careful about what I take.
