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.

Talk to your doctor first. But as long as you don't take them often. Constipation is a normal part of pregnancy. You should instead eat foods that will make you "go. Prune juice, dairy. Pills like that liquefied your stools. Speaking from experience, eat plenty of healthy foods and natural will take it course. The ideal is to keep the vitamins for you and the baby. You are going to need the pills, really, after you have the baby. What you are experiencing now is nothing compared to after the baby come and your body is going through the readjustment stage. Good luck on you upcoming baby.

No, Dulcolax will not harm baby, but why not go for natural stuff like fruits / prunes? Just intake lots of dietary fibre, and drink plentiful of water. These are also good for the growing foetus, and nourishing too! If you are badly constipated, Fybrogel is another good one to try.

Dulcolax is okay to take while pregnant. As long as you're not abusing it, you and the baby will be fine. Try eating more fiber though so that you don't have to remain on laxatives. You can get a lot of cereals with tons of fiber in them, and no, they don't taste like cardboard. I eat a lot of beans as well as cereal, of course that has it's own drawbacks, but at least I'm regular. ;D

Why can you not call your doc? I'm not a fan of Western Medicine, but only you, and you doctor know what other meds you might be taking, subject to, etc. If it was just you. OK, but a baby is a whole diff thing and you need docs advice for any meds!!! Especially this early! Do you know? You may have the next Pres of the USA in there. God Bless Her and You!

Probably as long as you took less or the suggested amount and if it says on the box that it is safe while pregnant it should be okay.
It mainly just the worry that if all your nutrients pass through you too quickly then none will get to the baby. But you should ask a doctor

Hi! I took dulcolax every day of my pregnancy because the vitamins were so contipating. My daughter is eleven and a happy, well-adjusted child. You'll be fine.
