Green tea is great with constipation. It helps a lot. But your prenatals could cause it, try increasing your water intake with them.

Girl I'm in the same boat as you! I've been constipated for a week as well and I'm 8w 1d. I've tried everything. The only thing that seems to work is a stool softner called colace but it still hasn't been that great. If you find something that works for you pleaseeee let me know lol

Start by maybe changing your prenatal vitamin...that helped me a ton. Also..try a cup of coffee if everything else has failed you. There are other products you can look into. But good consistent water intake a a small.cup of coffee moved things right along for me : ) I noticed when I changed vitamins I felt so much better. Hope something works : )
