Lactulose when pregnant

[HtheH]

Has anyone used lactulose to ease chronic constipation. I am 23 weeks pregnant and the lady in Boots said it was fine. I have heard that some laxatives can cause premature labour, anyone had experience of lactulose? I don't want to take it if there is any risk.
Thanks

I had that - by the gallon - when I was pregnant with DS2. It's fine in pregnancy

I feel for you

i was given lactalose by the womens hospital at around 23 weeks its absolutely fine to take during pregnancy as im sure a maternity hospital wouldnt have given it to me lil.

it did get things moving abit however i only took it for a very short time as the taste made me want to be sick its liek drinking sugar water lol

im 32 weeks now and it didnt do me any harm hun. however the constipation is becoming uncomfortable lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yeah ive also been given it in pregnancy... Go ahead it mite do you some good...
