Suggest Remedy For Constipation During Pregnancy
I have placenta previa and am experiencing a high risk pregnancy. Being on bedrest I have severe constipation. I have tried 40 g of fibre a day, metamucil, tons of water and nothing works. I have ibs. My dr suggested glycerin suppositories last week. I have used seven of them in seven days as I have a severe urge to go and if dont use the suppository i have to strain alot and the last time this happened I had a bleed and was hospitalized for two days. How dangerous are these for the baby? Im at a loss what to do. I am 36 years old, 5'9 and weigh 141 at 29 weeks

Hello dear,I understand your concern.I am sorry for your condition.
In my opinion constipation is routinely seen in pregnancy due to hormonal effect.But as it is present even after you taking lots of fibre,fluids and no response with them glycerine suppositaries only might help you.Dont worry they wont cause any harm .You may try for Agiolax granules German product,MADUAS company.
