Hate to tell you, but it probably is just that - piles. Miserable! Get more water, fiber and juice into your diet. Ask your midwife or ob about using something over the counter. Witch hazel , a good bit of it, on a cotton ball tucked between the cheeks before you go to bed seems to help.
Stinging may be a sign of a yeast infection. If you're not wearing them already, pick up some cotton knickers, baggier pants and liners to soak up moisture. Putting some yogurt in your daily diet is a plus!

Don't know about the stinging but could be lack of lubrication as already suggested.
The other does sound like piles - sorry! Keep up a good fibre diet and loads of water - before and after birth. I had piles develop at 7 months when pregnat with my first. He's now 7 and I eventually had to get the banded earlier this year. Not a great feeling I can tell you! Prevention is certainly better than cure!!! Even if it is just the baby starting to push down then it's better to have looser bowel movements or straining will just risk creating them too.
I would seek proper advice on both anyway, just to be sure in your own mind.
Good luck when baby comes.x

The pain in the bottom is likely to be hemroids (how do I write this anyway?). You can do something about that with more fibre and fluids into your diet. That is very very important when pregnant. Most women get them more or less, often they leave again, not always though.
And the stinging feeling is likely from a lack of lubrication. This happens easier while being pregnant. When you use some commercial lubrication next time, all should be fine.
If you do not feel comfortable with it, talk to your midwife she can help you with that as well.

just give your midwife a quick call, or visit your gp. piles are really common and a true 'pain in the butt' but usually go away after birth. they can start during pregnancy or just appear during labour. haemorroid cream really does help, but not sure if you can use it while you are pregnant. the best thing is to check it out properly with gp. just make sure to pop your legs up at the end of the day to give your body a rest, and make sure to eats lots of fibre in your diet to avoid straining when going to the bathroom. it is also helpful to practice your pelvic floor exercises as too much relaxing your bottom pelvic floor seems to make the problem a little worse.
no-one knows your body like you do, and if the stinging is not normal you might have a little infection, possibly even a urinary tract infection. it is best to see gp about this. dont worry about it though, both are normal. good luck with rest of pregnancy.
ps, nobody really talks about piles, but most people get them, so dont feel alienated or nervous to talk with gp about them. they can be sorted out, so dont worry

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/5LKDY
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

Well, I can't say it's not hemorrhoids, but I can tell you that your baby is possibly moving downwards positioning itself for birth. As for the stinging I'd advice you to call and ask your doctor. I have never heard the expression "stinging" after sex.

Most likely piles. I had awful ones when I was pregnant. If you dont treat them they'll just get worse and worse. Talk to your doc but I found suppositories good.
