Google, ask your doctor, search the board as this has been asked and discussed many times...

Pasta.  

However, I prefer a homemade sauce.

Stool softener is what I would start with. If it does nothing after a few days, then milk of magnesia. Also up you water.
I have had constipation this whole pregnancy. It sucks, sorry.

Metamucil- and my midwife said dandelion tea is safe to drink for bloating but also helps with constipation. A magnesium/calcium supplement has been known to help too

Foods high in fiber.  Veggies/fruits, whole grains and lots and lots of water.  Exercise helps to get things moving too.  If all else fails try a stool softener, like Colace.
