Try colace, (docusate sodium) dulcolax: I am sure nausea and vomiting of pregnancy have contributed to this; avoid zofran at all costs, take Reglan (metoclopramide) instead; start with colace 100 mg \ 2-3 times/day and consider Dulcolax for obstipation. Milk of magnesia and lactulose are also gentle, safe choices for stool softening in pregnancy. Drink plenty of fluids and advance your diet to include fiber and grains, fruits and vegetables as tolerated.
