Excited and Worried....

I am four weeks pregnant. Very excited.... But nervous too. We got our BFP at 9DPO.  I am 13DPO today and going to confirm the pg this Thurs.  I suffered two miscarriages in the last year. So, I am hoping this one works. I am nervous because I am really constipated. This morning my stool was so hard that my bottom bled a little. I started increasing fruit and veggies today. Should I be worried? My prenatal even says that it has a stool softner in it. So, I don't know why I have so much pressure in my rectum area. Has anyone else experienced this?

congrats on your pregnancy!!!!!!!well i am not a doctor but i would assume the constipation is from your diet...or are you on any other meds that have a constipation side effect. so thats good you are changing your diet. maybe ask the nurse at your doctors office for advice? good luck!

Congratulation!! drink alot of water to keep your stool soften.  I agree with tricia448, sometimes medicines can make you constipated.

good luck and enjoy your 9 months journey.

Thank you... I go Thurs. to get HCG levels drawn.  I am hoping everything goes ok this time around. It is hard not to worry.
