Hi Prabha Constipation is common in pregnancy. Instead of Dulcolax, you can try Duphalac syrup. Also try natural items that make stool soft, and bowel movements easy. 1) fenugreek seeds a handful swallowed with water, increases fibre and softens stool 2) vegetables like bhindi, beetroot, corn, green leafy vegs 3) walnuts 4) having 2-3 big glasses of warm water with lemon and pinch of salt in the morning Try various options to figure out which work well for you. Being dependent on medicines is not advisable in the long run.
