Cramps/pain/constipation

Julie
Hi Ladies,
So I'm 8w2d and super constipated. Per my Dr. I started taking Colace (stool softener) which hasn't helped much. Last night at about 1:30am I woke with really bad abdominal pains I thought it was appendix. It has subsided and I've let out some gas but I'm still having mild/moderate pain especially on my right side. I feel like it's just gas and bloated from being stopped up but not sure. Have any of you experienced this?
