laxatives during pregnancy

I took 2 laxatives earlier because I've been really constipated. I had asked for stool softeners and took two orange pills, and just was told they were actually laxatives. Is this bad for baby?

My stomach is cramping like it normally would when taking a laxative, but baby is moving now making it worse. I hope it didn't affect him or cause him to poop

I'm not sure but if you still need relief I would try miralax. It's a tasteless powder you mix with your water and it helps soften the BM so you can number 2 easier. My OB told me miralax is totally safe to use
