🆘 FTM

This is complete TMI- I’m currently 38+2, for the last week, everytime I try to make a bowel movement I get a shooting pain up the left side of my back that makes me stop pushing, the pain is severe! My dr said it could be because the baby is pressing up against something, has anyone else experienced this? Im keep me from pushing when it’s time to deliver the baby, I go in for my induction Tuesday night!

I’ve taken stool softeners everyday for the last month so I don’t have to push, nothing seems to work 😭 how am I supposed to push out an 8LB baby if I can’t even poop? 🤣
