Hi. I am about 9 days late on my period. I have not had typical symptoms of pregnancies yet. I had sex about a week before my period should've started.

December 22, 2014 - 12:26pmHi . Im 6 weeks pregnant and took a constipation relief satchet and ive now been sick 2 times. Is this to do with the satchet? Or am i suffering from food poisoning? I dont suffer from morning sickness or even nausea. Just cramps now and again. I just needed to go to the bathroom and all i could think about was a laxative might help.

Hey may I ask what happened when you took your laxative? I'm 7 weeks and took one and I'm afraid I may have caused harm.

OK so I'm 4 months pregnant with #5 and I have very unable to go to the bathroom since taking the prenatal. I told doc about it he did nothing. I also have a hernia that is my lower intestine hanging out of the messed up 3rd c section. That also contribute to me not being able to use the restroom. I started taking a lax and it helps. I feel the hernia getting smaller but now reading all of this I'm scared I'm harming the baby. And I've tried so many things to go to the restroom on my own from fresh veggies to stool softer nothing worked. I need some advice.

i have a bunch of regular sharp pain around my belly button and trying to figure out the cause my doctor wanted to do a camera endoscopy. the night before i had to take laxatives to clear my system for the camera. the next day i reported to the hospital for the procedure and all went well with no complications, however, that night I started experiencing out of this world pain from my upper abdomen down to my knees and all up my back and immediately reported to the ER and found out I was having a miscarriage. Didnt even know I was pregnant and now all I can think is that the laxatives caused me to lose the baby. Is that possible?
