Hi my dear,
I am sorry for all the health problems you are facing while being pregnant.
The white matter you saw in the stool when having bowel movement might be due to:
- mucus
- intestinal parasites
To my opinion, you should discuss it further with your doctor and send a sample of your stool in the lab for further diagnostic tests.
Do not worry. Once you'll have the results, specific treatment will be prescribed.
