*colace is a stool softener which is gentle and wont give you any cramping.

Ive heard laxatives arent really recommended during pregnancy. So I take colace and doctor also has given me a prescription for colace as well since my insurance should fully cover it. But also try making fruit smoothies. I use frozen mangos, pineapple, strawberries, with a little juice, yogurt and milk and that definitely works for me too!
