What Causes Painful Bump Near The Anus During Pregnancy?

I am 21 pregnant currently weigh in at 143 and i am 5 2 in height maybe even 3.. I have just noticed within the past 3-4 days that I have a small bump maybe the size of a jellybean under the skin located just beneath my tailbone in the crack of my anus. On top of this bump are 4 pinsized holes out of one of the holes after applying pressure to the bump a whitish-yellow puss like liquid came out slowly it carries a foul stench. This stench is also present in my vaginal discharge now when i use the bathroom. The bump is very painful and I can not lie down on my back nor sit up straight without experiencing a pestering pain. I stayed up all last night b.c any slight pressure put onto the bump triggers the pain and increases its intensity. I often have problems in this area since being pregnant where I feel it is raw due to rough surfaces, such as toilet paper and washcloths. I am not sure what to do I really can t take this on top of already existing symptoms of pregnancy. Please help!

This seems to be an abscess or an infected boil It has nothing to do with pregnancy.
It seems this has started contaminating the vagina also which is not good for your pregnancy and foetus. Please consult your Obstetrician and get the boiled opened and properly treated. After opening the boil, you will have to undergo a course of suitable antibiotics.
Please do not waste time lest serious complications may occur.
