Second trimester poops

Im 22 weeks.and.2.days with my twin boys, and this may be TMI but pooping has been difficult lately, its hard to push out, theres little bits of blood on my poop and when i wipe and its just really hard poops, like.it stings my hole area. Lmao. I literally have to recover from all that pushing.. i drink loads of water i have cases of water by my bed/couch and eat fruit and veggies, i dont take my prenatals as i keep forgetting and im still waiting for a call from a OBGYN to book an appointment.. but is there any other way i can make things come out more smoothly? Im sorry if this is tmi, is this normal? Lol thanks for any feedback really.
