Hello,
I have gone through your question thoroughly and can understand your concern very well.

I would like to tell you that these kind of altered bowel movements and altered urinary frequency is quite common during pregnancy, specially in last trimester. So in your case, its absolutely normal and you need not to do anything. Just wait for a week or so and it will be normal again.

This can happen because of pressure of growing fetus on urinary tract or bowels. In the last trimester, baby's position keep changes frequently, so it can happen with most of women. You need not to worry about it, just go for regular followup with your gynec.

Hope this will help you and let me know if you have any further relevant queries, i will be happy to guide you in right direction.
