HI, I understand your concern.  At 34 weeks pregnancy, when the baby has descended sufficiently down to exert pressure over vagina & rectum. Passage of stools down the rectum becomes difficult & lady has to exert down causing pain as you have.  It's desired to have smooth & semisolid stool at this stage. So taking mild laxative like liquid paraffin 2 teaspoons twice a day twice a day before food (dose can be changed according to personal health with your doctors advise) Take plenty of nutritive liquid diet along with routine food.  Perineal exercises would help0.  Thanks.
