Hi,
The mucus & no stools suggest - bowel infection., which is usually accompanied by pain in abdomen ( colic)
Microscopic examination of the stool would help in knowing the cause.
Take your doctor's advise. He will examine you ,get you investigated if needful & will give you specific medicines for infection taht is diagnosed.
- mild laxative (liquid paraffin ) at bed time helps . Or glycerine suppositories before going to wash room,eases the problem.
- diet rich in fibers & plenty of water & regular exercises/walking -help preventing constipation in pregnancy .
Thanks.
