Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Increase desire to pass urine is common in pregnancy however to rule out urine infection, give your urine for routine microscopy and culture tests.
Regarding bowel movement, increase frequency is not typical of pregnancy. You can try home bases remedies like curd, kichdi, banana etc. Iron and calcium tablet may cause tummy upset so you may consider stopping them for while and see.
Safety of enteroquinol is not established during pregnancy so do not take it. Consult your Obstetrician before taking any medicine.
Do write back if you have more concerns.
All the best.
