I am taking probiotics. It works great to keep me regular. Probiotics are so good for the guts.

I agree... colace... my Dr prescribed it for me with my iron pill. They gave me generic... it's Wal-Mart brand. :-)

Colace or it's generic is the ONLY stool softner you can take if its not in your prenatal vitamin. I hope that you get some relief soon.

I just use wal mart brand stool softeners. My fiance took them to the pharmacy and asked if they were OK lol I think as long as it's a stool softener and not a laxative it's ok
