Is milk of magnesia safe ?

Question

I am super constipated. I’ve tried bananas, apple juice, drinking plenty of water today. I can feel that I need to go the bathroom but it just won’t come all the way. I don’t want to strain or hurt myself. So is milk of magnesia safe for us pregnant women? Or what are some laxatives that worked for you ladies? Thank you for the help. This started last night & I just need some relief.

Answer

Milk of magnesia, Colace, and fiber are all safe during pregnancy.

Answer

Tried a decaf coffee? That always gets me moving.

Answer

Magnesium citrate works wonders. It’s a bitch and a half to down your throat but it works within 10 minutes. It is safe during pregnancy. I would not use it as a daily thing , pregnant or not, as with anything else every day use is not recommended. Magnesium citrate is for acute constipation and severe cases- basically last resort before there might need to check for fecal inpaction( when poop has been sitting for so long in your colon that nothing will make it come out and it will need to be manually removed via multiple enemas and even surgery. Before it gets to that, magnesium citrate is basically the thing to go.
You need to down at least half a bottle and follow it with 8 oz of water I believe. If you choose this route, I strongly recommend you holding your nose and jugging down fast . If you just take a sip to taste first you might not want to touch it again.
But, it’s safe during pregnancy and works where all other products have failed. You can and should of course google it and read on it so you don’t think it’s some crazy product.. it’s very popular within us people with severe or chronic constipation
