Is miralax safe during pregnancy?

Question

I've had many complications in the past. About once a month my intestines literally knot up to where you can see them budging out. Anyway is miralax safe to take?

Answer

It's listed in the C class for pregnancy. Take it if absolutely necessary, but don't make it a regular thing (no pun intended 😁).

Answer

Yes it is safe! It's on my list of safe medications and I have been constipated and talked to the doctor about it, I eat plenty of fruits and veggies and drink a lot of water and mentioned miralax worked and they said then to keep taking if it works. I only take it when it's absolutely needed though just because I don't like relying on things like that.

Answer

Miralax does not get absorbed from your G.I. track into your bloodstream, which means the baby is not exposed to it. You can take it on a regular basis if you need to, or only when you need to to have a bowel movement. You can also take only a partial dose if that is enough for you. You do need to drink plenty of water with it. Not everybody gets "water weight" with Miralax like someone else mentioned.

Answer

My doctor said it's okay "as needed". Just remember it causes a crazy amount of water retention. Expect 5-10 pounds of water weight.

Answer

I haven't seen it as ok on any of the medication things but call your doc to be 100% sure
