Leakage: If you are not taking mineral oil to aid your constipation, one possible explanation may be that of "overflow diarrhea" or the leakage of liquid stool around an impacted stool mass in the rectum. In that case, it's important to relieve the stool impaction.

Changes in bowel: habot are normal during pregnancy. You may be suffering from constipation with fecal leakage. You should consult your oB-GYN for the mediciation with both laxative and stool softener which is safest for you to use,
