Overflow?

Hi, does anyone have experience with severe constipation / overflow with their children?
my daughter (3.5 years) has suffered with constipation for a while and is on a daily dose of movicol
recently, she’s been going more regularly but the stool is quite mushy and loose. Not like diarrhoea exactly. She’s been soiling her pants and im unsure if she realises she’s going or not.
going to speak to GP tomorrow, but in the meantime does anyone have any similar experience?
she occasionally stands awkwardly and crosses her legs which makes me think she is really constipated and this could be overflow?
thanks in advance
