mirlaax in 3rd trimester?

Is it OK to take mirlaax in my third trimester? I'm 38 weeks and 1 day and I can not move my bowels for the life of me and it is causing so much discomfort. I called the drs office and left a VM but they close in 20 minutes and I won't here back from them tomorrow.

Could try a glycerin supposatory. They usually help within 15-20 minutes. It acts as more of a lubricant and softener I guess you could say.
