Constipation at 38+ weeks

I never had constipation during my pregnancy until now at 38 weeks !!! Will it affect my delivery ? I am opting for natural delivery , and also I have been trying to squat and force my self to shit but barely anything or very very small pieces comes out. Will this affect the baby if I keep forcing myself and also will it increase my dilation ??? Feeling abit hopeless now.

Eat more fruits and vegetables. 1-2 fruits with veggies per day will do. I changed my eating habit since mid 1st trimester, and no constipation after that.
