Constipation after birth

So I had my baby a little over a month ago and had major hemmroids & problems using the bathroom after birth but they went away a week later. I’ve been having stomach aches ever since feeling like my stomach will explode but I’m really just constipated! I’ve tried stool softener and yesterday I took a laxative and was able to finally go but now I’m constipated again and have that feeling back in my stomach. I’m not sure what to do at this point
