Painful Constipation During Pregnancy

My best friend is pregnant with her second pregnancy. She has been experiencing painful constipation for about five days at a time. When she does go, it's not enough that she feels relief. She consulted her doctor and he suggested OTC anti-constipation medicine, but nothing is working for her. She's been feeling really depressed, with headaches. It's even affecting her work performance, because she can't even focus. Has anyone experience this? If so, what did you do to help?
