Metamucil?

[MummaSue]

Is this safe to take when pregnant?

I'm 5 weeks today and am constipated. I ususally take metamucil every day but just want to make sure it's safe in pregnancy before I continue with it.

Thanks in advance.

Yep its fine hun.
Unfortunately part of the progesterone hormone we do tend to get constipated more during pregnancy.

I take 2 doses (morning and night) to ensure regularity.

I have found upping the water intake has helped heaps too...on days when i forget to drink the extra i find I am more 'bound up'.

Hi,

I took Normafibe while pregnant with Noah. It's a little stronger than metamucil and really helped me to fight off constipation

Hope you find something to make you 'regular' soon
