Hi,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM.
The bumps at your butt hole are formed due to engorgement of the veins at the anal verge. As you are due for your delivery, so the fetus must have descended down and causing pressure on all the venous and lymphatic system, leading to engorgement of veins and back pressure at this site.
I personally request you to not to do any hot water compression as it can lead to bursting of vein and profuse bleeding. Talk to your obstetrician for further guidance. These bumps will recede soon after delivery.
Best of wishes for your delivery and the fore-coming healthy baby.
