Brief Answer:
Not an indication of miscarriage
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
No, laxatives do not cause miscarriage unless it causes severe diarrhea.
Cramps are common in early pregnancy. It is not at all the indication of miscarriage.
I will suggest her to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including ultrasound and get treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
