I'm 39 weeks pregnant and went to labor and delivery for severe bladder infection, my symptoms included painful urination, with the sudden urge to push a bowel movement through, though hardly anything came out. It was so uncontrollable that my abdomen would spasm hard to push out of movement. Needless to say after an hour and half my abdomen hurt. I noticed blood and thought the blood came from my cervix since I'm close to delivering but I realized it was coming from my anus, it started out bright red,then pink, pink with slime, now I figured since my anus is very tender by this point and felt cracked it could be bleeding from wiping and having some loose stools to diarrhea, now keep in mind the bowel movements were rare I mostly had the uncontrollable urge to push after I urinate. I explained to several nurses in the L&D but I think they wouldn't know what to do with something like that and they kept telling me it was related to labor. One nurse brought me prune juice and I had very regular movements after for couple of hours. It stopped and I"m back to pushing but not quite as bad. My question is does anyone have any idea what is going on with me? Should I call my doctor ? But I'm thinking he's going to tell me the "blood" is related to pre-term labor, like I was told by others. I decided to use metamucil or buy more prune juice if things aren't better in two days. I also had noticed when I bend down to pick things up or lied on my side my stomach or maybe intestinal area by that area would sound like a rushing waterfall.In march I also was diagnosed with gallbladder sludge?!? Of course no real info on that except I'm to avoid fatty foods.  Any feed back will be welcomed thanks.
