Stool Softener

36 weeks right now. Wondering about taking a stool softener before delivery... Those of you that have done it, when did you start taking it? And do you take it regularly until you deliver? Does it make you poop all the time or just help things come out easier? Do you still poop during delivery or does taking one before help clear you out? FTM and just wondering when I should start taking one/if it’s necessary and what to expect. 😬
