Pregnant, Having Severe Constipation. Small Round Ball High In Abdomen. Could It Be Descending Bowel ?

Hello, I am 22 weeks pregnant with my second child and I am experiencing severe constipation. In addition to that I have noticed on my left side a small round ball high in my abdomin. My doctor said it was probably due to a decending colon. I did noticed that the more bowel movements I have the lower the ball moves but never goes away. Could it be a decending bowl or something more serious?
