fiber?

Is it safe to take extra fiber during pregnancy? I was thinking Benefiber? (Or generic brand)  I haven't been regular for awhile and I think I'll feel better--less uncomfortable.

It's safe just remember to drink plenty of water, so it doesn't back you up more...

Some brands etc are, some aren't.  Metamucil is fine.

I think you can but check with your doc for names of safe over the counter meds.
