How do people survive third trimester constipation? Osmotic laxatives don’t help as it’s more of a pelvic floor dysfunction issue (too tense and baby pressing has exacerbated it). Any tips would be appreciated.

I walked. Lots. Slowly, oh so slowly! But it really helped

I found lactose better and also drank plenty of water and ate plenty of fruit and did lots of walking.
