over the counter remedies
are any over the counter remedies for constipation safe in pregnancy? All the stuff i've read says to get something from the doc but that will mean a third appointment in 3 weeks and my midwife is the most unhelpful patronising woman i've ever met. Sorry to tmi but its getting quite bad now to the point where i'm putting off going to the loo and obviously thats not helping the situation.

as sunflower81 says, the pharmacist will be able to telll u what is and is not suitable during pregnancy, so u don't need to see ur gp, but if u've recieved ur mat exemption certificate then a prescription wld be free....also, never worry about seeing the doc/lw too much, it's their job, ur not wasting their time, they're paid to help u...
bananas are a great way to balance out ur 'movements' (lol), if ur constipated they can help start things and if ur too loose they can help to slow it down, now thats one clever fruit. a small glass of prune juice or one or two dried prunes should help provide u some relief too
