Take a look at this site and be sure to read it through.

Now anyone may correct me if Im wrong but I do believe(in case you are) that if you are pregnant you are not supposed to use laxatives cause it can be harmfull to the baby. Dont know if you are but just saying in case.

Constipated

Hi, Shams,
Have you considered Senaca?
They will not harm you, or if pregnant, the baby.
Senaca is natural. If you go for another two weeks without a bowel movement, it will be much more severe trying to relieve it
I am not a doctor, but are familar with others who cannot go for some period of time. Sometimes, someone must put on gloves and manually start removing stools.
Senna Lax is Rite Aid's own lable, and is available at Rite Aid for around $9. Take two in the morning, and two at night. Get only the brand that says ingredients (on the back) is senaca only, nothing else.
If that doesn't work, you might consider giving yourself an enama, using an over-the-counter "pack", which is a small plastic bottle. Ask a pharmacist about them. After inserting and sqeezing the bottle in the "appropriate place" in the body, takes about 5 to 7 minutes to soften the stools, then be sure to be sitting on a toilet! These enamas contain mineral oils, which are not harmful.
I do wish you the best of luck. Also, you might call your doctor's office, ask him/her, or their nurse, what they think about the enama idea.
