Try taking a stool softener with larger or less fibrous meals.  If there's blood in your stool you should talk to your doctor right away. It would be almost black in color. A little blood on your toilet paper could be a hemorrhoid or a small fissure from straining. They are usually worth mentioning to a doctor but not an emergency.
The only white sticky discharge I know of is from ovulation.  It shouldn't smell. If it does, might be an infection.

Gosh one of the  things I wish my mom would have mentioned was the bad constipation part how hard it would be right lol anyways I'm not too sure about tHe sticky discharge being normal and the bloodd in stool might be because of the straining and possibly a hemroid but if you had an emergency c section I wouldnt know why youd have this problem.. u should call the doc first thing tomorrow...
