At 17 weeks you should have good diet and plenty of oral fluids .constipation to some extend is expected in pregnancy as the digestion is slower and assimilation is more.but if you are still uncomfortable then you can try a laxative syrup at bed times to make stool soft and not to strain.increase fruits like musk melon / water melon in the diet as it contains lots of fibers
