Hello, I am in my seventh month of pregnancy and I have severe constipation problems. As I understood the doctor, baby is positioned low and that induces my intestines problems. I have heard from a friend that Metamucil might help, but I also know it is not a standard medication. May I take Metamucil during pregnancy?
I had similar experiences like you and beside constipations I had increased urge for urinating. I use Metamucil now, and I know that it is a herbal medication (100% natural). It consists of plant fibers that absorb water molecules in intestines and that improve motility of intestinal area. Still, you should consult your doctor, just in case you might cause some harm to your baby.
