HI,
I understand your concern.
At 34 weeks pregnancy, when the baby has descended sufficiently down to exert pressure over vagina & rectum.. passage of stools down the rectum becomes difficult & lady has to exert down causing pain as you have.
It's desired to have smooth & semisolid stool at this stage. So taking mild laxative like liquid paraffin 2 tea spoons twice a day twice a day before food ( dose can be changed according to personal health with your doctor's advise )
Take plenty of nutritive liquid diet along with routine food.
Perineal exercises would help0.
Thanks.
