Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Your symptoms suggest possibilities like passing hard stool, descent of the presenting part, irritability of the uterus perhaps exacerbated by the infection or some vaginitis/cervicitis. In the current scenario, I would suggest a complete assessment of the situation by your consultant to plan further management. Please see that you do not pass hard stool. Take adequate liquids, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and rest, preferably in the left lateral position. Wish you safe motherhood.
