Is It Safe To Have Cramaffin For Constipation During Pregnancy?

I am 9 weeks pregnant and I am suffering from constipation since past two three days. Is it safe to have cremaffin now? Are there any side effects? Does it cause any harm to the baby? I was prescribed cremaffin before I conceived since I've minor piles issues.

Hi.
Cremaffin would not harm the baby.
The only side effect is anticipated chance ( hypothetical although) of abortion if it causes severe loose motions.
As you had already taken before, and if you know the exact dose to loosen the stool , you can take it.
Better to go for high fiber diet, plenty of oral fluids.
