You need more fiber in your diet, and plenty of water. Greens, raisins etc.

Peppermint tea is supposed to help. I drink metamucil when it gets bad. Or make/buy a green juice with so many green vegetables inside. That makes you go!

Drink a hot beverage on an empty stomach.  That's all that worked for me. Laxatives don't even work on me this pregnancy. I drank a cup of hot cider and it seemed to move things right along. Nice finally being able to poop after months of fighting constipation.
