Mood swings are common in pregnancy. It seems that you are not the right person to get involved. Perhaps your father can suggest that she has regular check-ups. Laxatives do not necessarily harm the fetus. It depends what she has been taking. If she is depressed, it would be a good idea to see a psychiatrist.
