I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and I've been having a really hard time with constipation. Drinking a lot of water doesn't seem to help much. Even when I take 15ml of Duphalac syrup at night, I'm still struggling to pass stool and have to push really hard. Are there any home remedies or other suggestions you could give me to help with this?

Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.

I've been dealing with constant pain in my lower back and lower abdomen since the end of September after lifting something heavy. It was really bad at first, and I had to stay in bed for about 45 days because moving was just too painful. Now I can get through my day-to-day activities, but its still uncomfortable. On top of this, my periods are now 11 days late, but my pregnancy test came back negative. I'm really worried and not sure what's going on. Could these issues be related somehow, and what should I do next?
