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.

Dulcolax is a stool softener, not a laxative. It just makes it easier to go. In fact, there are TV ads on currently that state the same thing. Therefore, they should not harm the baby. However, you should check with your OB doctor about any meds you take, even supplements or herbals.

I definitely think you should just get fiber from other sources. If you ahve a couple of prunes with breakfast everyday, it will not only get rid of your constipation, but it will provide you with antioxidants and iron you're needing. Pears are also very high in fiber. make sure you drink water with your high fiber fruit and it will work twice as well.
Good luck.

doctors dont even like women eating rolaids when they are preggers. not a good idea. you should call your doc in the morning. you have to learn to do tht without meds and without pushing to hard and start adding more friuts and veggies so that you wont be constipated. grapes are great for constipation. you should eat a bag.

You should always talk to your doctor before you take anything when you're pregnant. Get some All Bran with some sugar and milk, works like a charm.

Why would you do that? Make you some good Italian spaghetti, use Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, and you will go to the potty, and eat lots of vegetables. and drink lots of water.
