I used it too no harm to the baby BUT there is a chance it will make the baby poop while in the womb and if he/she swallows it can cause a lung infection that reason alone is a reason not to take it

It does no harm to the baby either you'll end up in labor or in the bathroom with bad diarrhea

OK. I'm hesitant because I don't want to harm her. Thank you! I appreciate your feedback. I'm not going to take it. :)

100% don't do it.  I had the worst night of diarrhea and contractions.  Then I bled and had to go in.  No food or sleep.  Went into labor.  Terrible terrible please don't.
