Dulcolax stool softener??

So I'm super backed up and due to be induced in a few days( which is going to be way more uncomfortable if I'm all stopped up). The only stool softener I have e is dulcolax. Online it says it's safe to take while pregnant, but I'm worried as I've taken it pre-pregnancy and it really cleaned me out and so I can only imagine what it might do to baby. Anyone have any experience with this? Do you think I should risk it? Also, please don't tell me to exercise, drink more water/apple juice, eat fiber, etc. I promise you I have done that lol I just normally have terrible constipation&IBS and it takes days to more than a week to go sometimes.
