I was prescribed antibiotic for my hear infection, something that it was safe for the baby but also gave me some heardrops, and I just wonder if it was also safe for the baby !! The constipation has been awful since I have problems with constipation before so while pregnant it becomes a big deal, so please if anyone know if you can use natural laxatives please let me know!!! they don't usually give cramps or make run to the bathroom, they just help me go (usually when I take it while I am nor pregnant!!)
Thanks for your help!

If you were prescribed antibiotics for an ear infection while pregnant, then your doctor knows best.

As far as a natural laxative goes, a glass of milk immediately followed by a glass of orange juice always worked for me. Other things to try...Bran Flakes or muffins, prunes or prune juice are recommended before OTC Metamucil. Try a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in meats and breads. Drink lots of water and fruit juice; avoid lots of milk and sodas.

Ask your doctor at your next appointment, or just give him a quick call, (your paying for his time!)

I don't think laxatives are very safe during pregnancy. You can call your doctor's office and ask to speak to an advice nurse.. she will be happy to answer your question. What always worked for me during my pregnancies..was.. a warm cup of water with some lemon..FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. sometimes I would put a little bit of honey or sugar and it wasn't bad.. It worked really good. GOOD LUCK!
