No BM for nearly a week & today is my due date

Yesterday was my due date and there's no sign of baby coming yet :/
One thing I'm concerned about is the fact that I haven't had a bowel movement in 5 or 6 days. That will be a  LOT of poop unload on the table while pushing if I don't have a BM before I go into labor. What can I do??

Warm prune juice. It may be gross, but I have no problem going when I drink it. It cleans me right out.

Go to your local drug store and buy a stool softener. That could help push it out, the poop, not your baby haha
