May be TMI at breakfasttime, so apologies!
Does ANYONE have any info about safety of Movicol in early pregnancy?
Have suffered from chronic constipation for past year, all the usual remedies didn't work (prunes, veg, fibre, exercise etc and was using LOTS of movicol just to keep moving at all). GP eventually sent me for colonoscopy which showed I have distended and v twisty colon ie am predisposed to chronic constipation and not all that much I can do about it apart from combo of laxatives and v v healthy diet.
HOWEVER, now we are ttc and am getting in a state. One doc mentioned in passing that Movicol (the only laxative that seems to work for me, lactulose only has limited effect and senekot isn't the right kind to help me) works partly because it has effect on the colon that causes it to (gently) spasm and help food work through that way. But that this was of course not great in pregnancy because it might have same effect on uterus...
Is possibility that he was talking out of his arse 
but now am getting in a total state. Am in 2ww and am horifically constipated because despite mainlining lactulose it's barely working. Daren't take my usual colossal dose of Movicol that I would need to get things moving when am this bad, because I'm unclear about what effect that might have on uterus if I have been lucky enough to conceive this time.
Can't get appointment with GP to discuss until late next week - not worth going for emergency appt today or tomorrow as you get a randomly assigned GP that way and that almost certainly means I'll end up with one of the other docs there - my own GP is great but the others are frankly NOT and tend to file all 30-something women with a health issue under 'Clearly Bonkers and Probably Depressed'. (Honestly, one once tried to prescribe me Prozac for headaches that turned out to be due to a muscular strain in my neck...)
So what do I do for remainder of 2ww, until I can get some advice???!
Does anyone have any info about Movicol in early pregnancy? I do know it isn't recommended in general in preg but I do know is sometimes OK if nothing else works. However I think this may be the case in later pg, when standard constipation kicks in. No idea what to do about chronic constipation that's a serious issue even before I get up the duff.
Am really miserable and stressed about it all. :(
Thanks so much if anyone can help at all. :)
