Difficulty pooping @ 3rd trim

Im coming to 34 weeks. Past few days/weeks, i do poop everyday but most of the time i always need to push very very hard and strain myself in order for the poop to come out. To the point i sometimes scared ill push the baby instead. Or there are times when my stomach hurts and i need to poop but no poop comes out. Is this common in 3rd trim ? Is it considered constipation ? Or not ? Since i still poop everyday just that i always need to strain myself. #FTM

During my 30week, I also have this difficulty pooping , whenever I use some strength to make the poop out , my belly hurts so much that I scared I injure or effect my baby, because my belly hurt so much whenever I push, so 3/4 weeks back I spoke with my doctor ,he informed me that it’s normal and just push the poop and the baby won’t be effected , till now I’m 38 weeks , whenever I poop , still very pain haha .. I try to take many poops a day, cuz it’s too painful on my belly like rock😅!
