HELP!!!
The escalating treatment ala Mom4jazz: Fiber in your liquids/fiber gummies totaling 15 grams a day. If that fails ADD 2 Colace a day. If that fails, ADD another 2 colace (I take morning & evening). If that fails, a dose of Miralax a day until you go.
The first time, I had to escalate even farther to Ex-Lax, but since then my 15 grams of fiber, plus 2 Colace in the morning & evening, plus Miralax every other day has done the trick.
Yeah, I have constipation problems. Had 'em before surgery.

I went home with stool softeners so I would highly recommend you get your doctor to prescribe something. Suppositories and fiber should do the trick. I take fiber daily and only have a few days every once in a while where I'm backed up. Once this clears up make sure you incorporate either benefiber or gummy fiber DAILY.
Good luck to you!
