Why did you post this question a million times?
You take them orally or are you using the suppositories? Neither one will hurt the baby but there is a slight possibility the bowel stimulation from the suppositories might possibly stimulate labor if the cervix was already favorable but it's unlikely unless you're doing it all the time. Better than you are well hydrated, trying prunes and prune juice and eating lots of fiber and then you can only use the Dulcolax if it's not working.

I think it should be fine but anytime you take any drug you should consult with the Dr. or atleast the pharmasist. You can ask your doctor if he has a list of things that are okay to take mine did and it saved me the time of having to talk to someone everytime ya know. Plus you would be superised what all medicines contain asprin which is a big no-no.

I never took tablets. My midwife recommended using natural fiber supplements (like Citrucel or Metemucel) when I needed it - they go straight through your intestinal tract without the worry of blood absorption. Discuss it with your OB...

i was hella constipated from those damn iron supplements and prenatal vitamins. my doctor just said to drink more water. i doubt it would hurt if you take no more than the dosage requires but i would check with the doc to be sure. also, don't force it or you will get hemorrhoids and they suuuuck

don't use anything that you don't have to when you are pregnant. Increase the fruit and fibre in your diet and drink plenty of natural liquids water or juices. Stay away from tea or coffee they are diuretics ( make you urinate more)

My doctor prescribed colace (or colase) a laxitive when she gave me a prescription for iron. You may want to talk to yours and get something prescribed just so you know it's safe.
