Mary - be careful using enema's. You're WAY too early to have this happen, but they can cause contractions and preterm labor farther along into pregnancy.

Google search says both that they can be safe and they can be dangerous....just like with drug/herb/food during pregnancy. I've heard that the saline based enemas are safe and sometimes prescribed to preggos in this kind of emergency. My friend was prescribed one during her pregnancy. But of course I'd ask a doctor or midwife.Quote:

Oh I know. I'm a pharmacist, so don't think I didn't do my research on the risks, lol. But it was either do that or go to the hospital and have some doctor fish it out manually. Yeeeaaah... I figured the benefit outweighed the slim risk. ;)Quote:

Mental note to self - start performing daily enemas at 37 weeks. :lol:Quote:
