Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

During the third trimester of pregnancy the baby grows and causes pressure on the rectum posteriorly. This might create a sensation of defecating frequently. If you have hemorrhoids then it is suggested to stay on a soft diet during till delivery and have fluids regularly. This will cause soft stools and not hurt you due to hemorrhoids. Do not stress during defecation and stay free from stress due to this problem.

Please drink a glass of water in the morning when you wake up and this will make easy bowel movements and you can relax for the day. Avoid eating processed foods and include fibers like fruits and vegetables. The mucus in stools will stop when you have fibers. Please do not worry.
