No, it is not but since constipation is very common during pregnancy, you can take a stool softener. You can also call your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist which brands are the safest.

check with your OBGYN, it depends how far along you are, and which onces.

I used prune juice last time and it worked okay, and is a natural option, that the doctor approved.

Take metamucil. It is safe to use during pregnancy.

no its not okay to use laxatives. I had really bad constipation in my second trimester and my doctor of course gave me a prescription for a stool oftener but if its too bad and your out of the first trimester she recommends that I take a e***a. Before you take the e***a, please talk to your doctor first.
