Re: Is it ok to take...
I've always been told that mineral oil or any castor oils are a no-no.
did you try the colace? That's safe!

Re: Is it ok to take...
No juice is working and the colace says 12- 24 hrs for relief. I can not wait thant long! my stomache is killing me and I pretty much feel like I just may actually physically implode any second!

Re: Is it ok to take...
I took colace through out this pregnancy. It does NOT enter your blood stream there for it does not harm the baby. It goes into your intestines and works rather quickly for me ;) You have to take it regularly.
ETA: take 2-3 colace for a few days then tapper off. In the meantime doa suppository.

Re: Is it ok to take...
I would def stick with the colace and up your fresh fruit intake. Fruit juice doesn't always work but fresh fruit usually does for me

I was trying to avoid that! I just called the doc again (PIA) and he said ok just this once with the mineral oil b/c I waited so long (4 days now) to address this, but then to start with the colace every day (1 pill) just to keep things regular. My lord I can't stand this pain - how the hell am I going to deal with labor?????
Anyway, please pray this works for me or I swear I will be in the ER by morning!
