.I occasionally use a Fleet enema for constipation & I have excellent results. Can I still use the enema when needed since
I'm 14 weeks PG? I don't use enemas on a regular basis.

kathyDear Kathy,
I would discourage enema use during your pregnancy. There are a number of natural laxatives e.g. fiber that should allow for regular bowel movements. In any case, you should ask your obstetrician about what to do.
