Laxatives During Pregnancy

Hi.  I just wanted to know if it is alright to take a mild laxative (i.e. Metamucil) during pregnancy for constipation.  I asked my RE and he said it was alright.  I didn't want to push my 3 DET embies out.  >8-0

it was on my pregnancy safe med list.  i would try not to use it too often because you do not want to over stimulate that area cause it can cause contractions.  also try colace which you can use dialy is need be because it just softens.
