Hey i am 39 +5 wks pregnant, and have just taken 3 teaspoons of lactulose. Has anyone any idea how long it will be before it takes effect. I am due at hospital tomorrow for a sweep and am hoping my bowels will be cleared so the midwife can get a good sweep to induce labour. thanks.
two to four days
Lactulose softens your bowel movement and blows you up with a lot of gas. It makes you run for the toilet if you try to hold all of it back.
It is part of the laxative process. That is what makes it work.
How long does it take to work
Yes you can, its perfectly safe, but you will need to read the instructions and work out how many times a day you need it. The minimum is 3 spoonfuls a day but i only need to take 2. Was recommended by my doctor to help heal a pile i had and keep my stool soft. It works very well, but takes 24-48 hours before it kicks into your system. once it does you should keep up the routine. also drink plenty of water with it. hope this helps
