TMI pooping question?

I have taken a stool softener daily for my entire pregnancy due to constipation. Lately, my poops have been a lot looser and painful. I'm wondering if I should stop taking the stool softener now? I'm nervous to stop taking it because with my first pregnancy, I was soooooooo constipated afterwards and didn't poop for 4 days. But I'm also nervous to keep taking it because I don't get wanna poop while pushing her out. Anybody have any advice?

    Yes stop taking the softners! Once you start to have regular movements then you can resume the softners if necessary.

    I don't have much advice about the softners but don't worry about pooping while pushing. My first baby I pooped with my 1st push and the midwife wrapped it up and handed it to the nurse like she'd seen it happen all day. They really don't make a fuss about it in the delivery room.
