Hello. I'm 8 weeks pregnant with first baby and I'm constipated. Can I take something to help me. Or will it harm the baby. I'm so scared I might do something wrong.

I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and constipation has been a huge struggle this pregnancy. I called my doctor and she said Mirilax is okay to take during pregnancy and if it is bad enough they will say you can take colace (stool softner) mine got so bad that I had to buy an enema which the doctor told me to do. Ask your doctor what they would like you to do before you take anything though
My dr prescribed mirilax (stool softener), u can also try eating prunes or changes in your diet. Diet didn't work for me so i use mirilax powder, cheapest to buy at Costco but ur insurance may cover it too.
Same here! I'm also 8 weeks. I've just been trying to eat more high fiber stuff. But I was wondering the same thing.
