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.

First of all cdrfish2 is a reject and must be about 8 years old to think a baby could come out "in pieces" in someone's feces. Jeez.
Hon, you are fine with the Dulcolax. I'm a mother of 2 great little kids and I took this stuff too when I was pregnant. Here is a list of other OTC medications that are safe for this problem: Colace, Dulcolax, Maltsupex, milk of magnesia. I checked the internet for you and listed my source below.

Why you have a constipation ?Do you have a poor digestion ? I think it is better if you eat many fruits daily such as banana,apple,carica papaya,orange etc.
You can consult to your doctor if you have a poor digestion.I think dulcolax tablet do not harm your baby if you eat it in line with its direction for use .

It can do more than harm the baby!! A friend of mine took these when she was pregnant, and the baby ended up coming out in her feces, like if you swallowed a ring, except it was all in little pieces. It was really gross. Don't take them!!!!

You should use Phillips Milk of Magnesia. It's natural and safe to take while pregnant.
