i just posted a question but i have another one. i think i heard you can drink metamucil for constipation in with pregnancy. but then i read it and it seems like a laxative and i took a laxative before. it messed up my stomache sooooo bad. so can someone please tell me if its ok because my hunny bought it for me and im scared to try it. thanks

It should be fine. It is not a laxative,it is fiber which will help with constipation. I take it daily

i bought it also, but i havent taken it. my doc said its ok to take, but make sure you drink a lot of water b/c she said it could make you more constipated if you dont have enough fluids in you. have you tried prunes? they aren't that bad and they have flavored ones. they worked great for me. good luck
