Can I take a rexall bisacodyl 5 mg laxative? I’m so constipated that I’m crampy and I cannot tell the difference between contstipation cramps and contractions. 😑 I called my office and asked and they said it might give me cramps but didn’t really answer my question...I don’t want to take anything that could make the baby poo as well.
