Pelvic pressure vs. constipation - stupid ?

My LO is really low in the pelvis, hopefully in preparation for her 5/31 EDD.  That said, I can't tell if I'm terribly constipated or if it's just her position.  I've taken Colace, had some coffee, eaten some prunes.  All that's left is an enema, which I'm scare of because of causing contractions or just being in pain.

How do I know if this pressure is baby or BM?  Dumb, I know but I'm flying blind here.  And hurting.

Thanks!

    Mine is definitely just pelvic pressure. She dropped a couple more inches last night and I am feeling it today. I have had liquid poo for the last week though, so I know its not constipation. Maybe try taco bell? Or Sonic? A big greasy philly? That might move things along if fiber isn't helping.

    The easiest way to tell is obviously to ask when your last BM was. If you haven't gone in a few days it's probably constipation. If it's not constant and you have been regular then it's probably baby. I get bad pelvic pressure from LO, the way I deal is either adjust her manually (pick my bump up and shift it to the side), yoga positions (child's pose, cat pose, down dog), or lay in a bath.
