What Causes Anal Pressure During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 39 1/2 weeks pregnant. I am feeling a lot of pressure tonight, which is making me feel like I need to have a bowel movement. My last bm was about an hour ago and it had a black oily substance floating around it, what could that be? Thank u for your response.

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your query.
Downwards pressure in 39th week of pregnancy along with feeling of urgency of deification suggests decent of fetus up to the rectum.. sign of labor. .. more so because of the black ( ? old blood from vagina ) oily substance being passed while bowel movements..probably old blood from vagina which was caused wby dilatation of cervix.
You should get examined by your treating doctor for progress of labor & get admitted as per the findings.
Thanks.
