Laxatives are a big no no the can cause contractions.  Colace a stool softener is on my list of safe med (don't get it confused with pari-colace.) and fiber con or other fiber supplement.  Also prunes or apple juice may help.

Eat or drink something that would normally make you go. Or call the dr and see if their is anything safe you can take, maybe a laxative or something.
