Constipation (TMI)

I have been having trouble going to the bathroom because I would spend 30-40min to poop what I usually did in a minute. No kidding !! I never had a problem. I know is TMI but now I worry that if I push it I can hurt the baby or worse, provoke a preterm labor. Im only 27w + 1d.
Answers please..! Im worried...

It wont hurt your baby but could give you himroids. The dr will give you a list of laxatives you can take. I went through the same problem for a little while at first of pregnancy i would go days without going. But it finally went away. Apples always help me lol lots of fiber

Eat lots of finer rich foods and if youre like me chocolate milk makes me soft (lol sorry) or eat a whole banana each day.
