Lactulose

Miralax

Colace (stool softener) and Senna/Senokot (a natural laxative made from leaves and fruit of the senna plant) are both safe to take during pregnancy but let your dr know in case they have a different recommendation. Up your water intake, prunes/warm prune juice and fibrous foods can help too.

Lacson. Eat prunes every day.
