What can be done for constipation during pregnancy?

To help with constipation during pregnancy, you can try using PEG-3350 (Lax-A-Day, Pegalax, Restoralax, or similar products). It is a tasteless and odorless powder that you can mix into any liquid. The recommended adult dose is usually 17 grams mixed into a liquid. This helps soften stools and increase their volume to stimulate bowel movements. PEG-3350 works quickly and is safe to use during all trimesters of pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
