Constipation Woes

I am suffering major from constipation.. It's horrible! I'm only 6 weeks I didn't expect it to start this soon. I'm thirsty all the time and I even ended up with some hemorrhoids.. So last night I went out and got some equate suppositories for the discomfort and I used one last night.. Well.. After looking up some information I read that it could cause early labor.. Not that particular brand but some do.. so my question is.. Do any of you have this issue? If so, what are you using?!

My dr list says for constipation milk of magnesia 30cc as directed until relief. Also a stool softener like Surfak or Colace may be helpful to avoid constipation.

Eat a salad, I was constipated for like 3 days or so. And ate a salad for lunch one day. And hours later it kind of gave me diarrhea. Which in a way helped, since I was so constipated. I felt relief after.
