Bad constipation in 3rd trimester

Does any mummies have other relief or solution to really bad constipation in 3rd trimester aside from the usual take more fruits/vege/fibre? (Which I’m trying) 🥲 I’ve been having bad tummy ache a few times a day but when I try to go I can hardly poop 🥲 The constipation situation is quite bad, not sure what else can I do 😭

take stool softener from GP (or you can buy from pharmacy but I think getting from GP wld be better). Take fruits - kiwi (with the skin) and dragonfruit. Don't forget loads of water!!
