Hey well if you cant get ahold of your doctor, you can call your local pharmecy, or labor and delivery ward, and they will tell you what is safe, and what is not. i wouldnt go by a website i would just call to be safe ↑

If you're not sure and cannot get ahold of your Doctor...why not trying a natural laxative such as prune juice? It's not harmful at all and is recommended over something you buy at the pharmacy. ↑

or you could use apple juice or pear juice sometimes that works! ↑

don't take a laxative because they make you cramp. but you can take a stool softner those help most of the time. but nothing seems to be working for me i have been constipated for a week now and my doc said not to worrie but geez its kinda uncomfortable.... ↑
