Suggest Treatment For Severe Constipation

I took the laxative Senokot-S and colace for severe constipation. I am 16 weeks pregnant and read this could be dangerous and cause contractions and/or miscarriage. The Seonokot website says it is safe to take this as it is natural and gentle. I have a lot more cramping now then earlier today. Is this unsafe?
