I haven't had problems with poop besides constipation, but lately when I sneeze I pee on myself. Thankfully it hasn't happened in public. Good luck with it though, I'm sure it really *****.

Did you have serious tearing or a deep episiotomy with one or more of your previous deliveries? Have you (tmi) noticed any feces in or around your vagina? I only ask because I have a friend who had what's called an obstetric fistula and had problems like yours for quite some time after her son was born and had to have surgery to repair it in order to reduce her risk of having similar issues in future pregnancies.
Also - rushed or difficult deliveries may weaken the anal wall causing problems with muscle control. Talk to your doctor about what's going on and see if there's something that can be done to help solve the problem - because it sounds pretty miserable to be honest :-( good luck!

I was leaking pee and when I would go to the restroom to pee I would do number two as well without even noticing it. I had to be wearing a pad as well.  This was maybe about two weeks ago when I was around 27 weeks. Ive been told its normal due to the pressure baby applies .

I did earlier in my pregnancy. I started wearing liners. Also I tried my best to go when I felt the urge instead of holding it. I'm healthy & my baby is healthy so I wouldn't worry.
