I knew exactly how you feel. I suffered for like 2 weeks. I tried miralax and benefiber and stool softeners.  They only helped a little. This was at the beginning of my pregnancy, and a local practioner said I could take a laxative, I was skeptical, but I broke down and took Dulcolax, that worked for like a day, but was still constipated.  Sometimes ya just gotta wait it out. Prune juice is probably your best bet. I am now in my second trimester and do not get constipated anymore, but a lot of it probably has to do with me drinking a crap ton of water everyday. Good luck, I know how bad it *****!
