Pregnant, Brown And Slimy String In Stools. Worms?

I am embarrassed to ask this but I don t know if I might have worms or not? I am 39 weeks pregnant and I saw light brown slimy strings in my poop could they be worms? The strings were not moving at all and I don t have an itchy anus either... I am just worried because I ve never had this problem before and I always practice good hygiene .

Hello,

It may be wormed, so you should do a stool analysis to know exactly what it is and to treat it in the right manner.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
