38 weeks and constipated TMI warning.

As the title says I’m 38 weeks but I’m not sure if the issue is that I’m constipated/impacted or if it’s diarrhoea.

For about a week now I’ve had loose stools but the constant feeling like I need to go. I’ve been having BMs regularly so I thought it was diarrhoea but today, and I’m sorry for the TMI, I went to the toilet and found that I’d leaked a small amount of watery diarrhoea.

Could it be that I’m actually impacted? I don’t feel unwell, no abdomen pain, just I feel like I need to keep pushing but nothing coming. What can I use to treat this? Very anxious about pooing myself in labour so would like to get this sorted ASAP to give myself a fighting chance Blush
