Hi,     
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. It could be due to HAEMORRHOIDS which is common in pregnancy, kindly get evaluated by a surgeon they might do a visual examination of anus may be enough to diagnose hemorrhoids. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may wish to do a different examination to check for any abnormalities within the anus. This check is called a digital rectal exam. During this exam, your doctor inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into your rectum. If he feels anything abnormal, he may order an additional test, called a sigmoidoscopy.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
