Anyone know if it's safe during pregnancy? I found out its gluten free, but now i can't figure out if it's safe. Some say yes, some say no. Emma, any ideas?

this is what i found on webmd:
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

It is a cat C drug. I wouldn't use it in the 1st trimester. Instead use docusate and/or increase fiber and a glycerin supp if needed instead.
