I feel for you!! I just gave birth to my second child and endured horrible IBS symptoms throughout the pregnancy.
Do you take a fiber supplement? If not, you really should. Try to drink as much water as your body can handle (I couldn't drink much at all while I was pg), as this will help the fiber work.
I second trying to find a new doc. My doc was wonderful and was all about trying different (safe!) things to try during pregnancy. I ended up taking Dulcolax, which is an EFI no-no, but it was a last resort for me.
Also, have you thought about seeing a psychologist? I know my anxiety over IBS makes things worse, and seeing her has helped out with a lot of my issues.
I just posted about my IBS disappearing on this board, so you may take hope that it could also happen to you.
You can also do pre-natal yoga to help you move things along. It may not make you tummy feel better, but it will help you relax and de-stress.
Hope you feel better soon!
Also, check out the sticky pregnancy link on this board. You might find some helpful suggestions.
