Frequent urination is pretty common as pregnancy progresses.  Baby can often be resting on the bladder.  Earlier on, it can be a result of hormonal changes.  Many women report the need to urinate frequently after about week 6 or so.  Loose stools is a common symptom around the time of labor.  Earlier in pregnancy, hormonal changes are more likely to cause constipation.  How far along are you?
