I am having the same issue. The only way that seems to work, on top of stool softener and probiotics which I take religiously, is to drink at least 2 litres of water everyday.

You can take pregnancy safe probiotics or eat fruits that will help with your bowel.

Ripe papaya and drink plenty of water

Drink prune juice.

How about papaya?
