need to go!!!
Hey guys, I'm currently 4weeks 4 days pregnant and I need to go to the bathroom so bad but constipation just wont let me. While pregnant can you take a stool softener or laxative? I would ask a doctor but I'm currently enlisted in the air force and have no doctor to ask until referrals call me with whatever Dr I'm going to be seeing throughout my pregnancy. Thanks guys! Slightly embarrest of this problem.
My last pregnancy I was really constipated. Raisin Bran for breakfast every morning and plenty of water! Good luck!
dont be embarrased hun, iv actually had the opposite effect the past few days, im 5.1weeks and im going twice a day, dont know if its something i ate but iv been like that for 5 days now. iv been drinking a glass of orange juice a day so that might be helping. however the pregnancy with my son i had severe constipation from 30 weeks till the end, and i took lactalose which is a safe laxative to take in pregnancy and can get from any chemist, do speek to the pharmacist first tho x
