Can I take Miralax every day while pregnant?

Question

So I have always suffered from constipation. There would be times I would go 3-4 weeks without having a bowel movement. I am 20 weeks pregnant and I have been taking miralax for 3 days now. ITS A LIFE SAVOR. I never knew what it felt like to not be bloated, cramping, feeling just like I have to go 24/7. Can I take this every day? I will ask my doctor of course. But figured I’d see if anyone got the ok in the mean time.

Answer

Talk to your doctor about taking the stool softener colace twice daily to help as well. I totally agree miralax is a pregnancy constipation lifesaver. I had to take it for weeks because I was so miserable.

Answer

Prune juice helped me. Just a small glass and it was such a relief. Natural better

Answer

Yes I went to the hospital for really bad constipation I actually started bleeding because all the pushing and my doctor recommended I take a dose once a day to keep my bowel normal since pregnancy can cause really bad constipation.

Answer

I’m the same way with my bowel movement’s. I’ve been taking fiber one bars this whole pregnancy and they have been life savers. I’m also lactose intolerant (but it backs me up) but I will also have a cup of hot coco and a cup of milk every day and that helps me go (:

Answer

Yeah. My doctor recommended that I take a little each day to keep me regular with my first. I was super constipated.
