• Is Colace safe for daily use during pregnancy?

During my last pregnancy, I took 100mg of Colace daily from the beginning as I had severe constipation with my first pregnancy. My pregnancy was fine and my child is healthy but now, I am regretting this, as I am worried about unknown harm I may have caused my child in the future. Is Colace safe for daily use during pregnancy?

Yes, but I would try something else first. FIBER TABLETS, WATER WATER WATER, fruits and veggies, SALAD everyday. Review online how to naturally help with constipation. There is a ton of information to consider.

I don't know of any problems with it, but a more natural alternative is fiber and increase your water intake.
