Welcome to healthcaremagic. Upto three motons per week is taken as normal depending upon food habits (mainly fibre content) if no other abnormality like pain abdomen or GI bleed. In your case first try with increase in fibre (more in vegetables and fruits). I would also suggest you to get checked for thyroid as it is one of the common problems to cause organic constipation. If there is no improvement then you may need to consult doctor.
Take care.
