Constipation is common during pregnancy. Cremaffin may be used during pregnancy when advised by her obstetrician, but avoid repeatedly increasing laxative doses without medical supervision. Since lactulose has not helped despite adequate fluids and fibre, she should consult her obstetrician for examination and an appropriate alternative, such as a bulk-forming agent or polyethylene glycol (PEG/macrogol). Seek urgent medical attention if she has severe abdominal pain, vomiting, marked abdominal distension, bleeding, or inability to pass gas.
