8 weeks pregnant and haven't gone #2 in about 5 days! What "ELSE" can I do? Please Help!

I am only 8 weeks pregnant.  I've had chronic gastritis, gastric paresis, IBS, GERD, etc, since prior to getting pregnant.  My doctor had warned me if I were to get pregnant, that all my stomach symptoms would get a lot worse.  I am so constipated, I haven't gone in 5 days.  I've taken suppositories, enemas, high fiber diet, high fluid intake, etc and still NOTHING!  Please help me!  What can I do now?  I'm so bloated and nervous because a nurse told me they're a little concerned if any longer, infection can occur.  I'm highly impacted and I think I have an internal hemmorhoid "blocking the exit".  Anything that is coming out right now is mucus, and maybe very minimal "liquidy fecal matter".  Please help give me more ideas.  I'm desperate.  And also, how concerned should I be with this affecting me and/or the baby?  Thank you!  Shannon

Hi,
Fiber supplements/ high diet should be tried first.
Since the response is not good in your case, you may try laxatives like lactulose.
