    I've been looking into this myself as at 8 months PG am having "issues" and apparently metamucil is pretty much the only "natural laxative" that you arallowed to take when pregnant. I've been eating prunes but they have not been helping so I was going to try metamucil as well.

    You can take Fybogel too Should be able to get it over the counter at the chemist.

    Steer clear of sena based laxatives.
