Has anyone been told to take milk of magnesia before an induction ?

I’m 37 weeks today and getting induced at 4 am due to my liver enzymes and protein in my urine.. my doctor told me to come home and take 2 tablespoons of milk of magnesia. I really don’t wanna take it lol. I know the obvious answer here is “listen to your doctor” but is this like a normal thing to do before being induced? I’ve read it can cause you to go into labor on your own and also you’ll basically be on the toilet all day and I have way too much to do for that. Also I’ll add I really don’t want to go into labor on my own if I can wait to be induced at 4 am.

I’ll also add I’ve already had diarrhea for like the past week and I’m definitely not constipated.
