Bit of a TMI question

Hi guys, im down to single digits, waiting on junior. Usually ive had no issues going to toilet #2 whise, but over the past day or two ive noticed that, although I do go in the morning, I find it a bit more uncomfortable during the day. I have issues with hemmorhoids but I drink water like its goin out of fashion, eat fruit and yoghurt everyday and I exercise regularly. I was at the gym yest and I went for a walk today and Monday... Yet still feel awkward. I went for reflexology yest and during it I could feel baby actually pressing on my bowels, the MW/reflexologist said that babys lying pretty low to be able to do that. I get thebodd tinge of red in my knickers but no real mucus or discharge to speak of along with the feeling that I've had a right good boot in vag!

Anyone any ideas?
