I have an appt to a GI doc but it's 2 weeks away and I'm in pain and need answers. I'm 30 and 18 weeks pregnant. I suffer from hemroids which have just gotten worse from my 1st pregnancy and then this one. I've had the worst morning sickness and was unable to eat anything but bread for the first 15 weeks which caused some sever constipation. I didnt use the bathroom from 2 weeks, then after forcing myself to go, I started seeing just blood in the toilet...hemroids, I'm sure. After several weeks of this I then started seeing mucus mixed with blood. I've recently been able to eat better so I am having runny bowel movements (taking metamucil as well) but my concern is the constant urge
mucus. I went to the bathroom 16 times yesterday! It wakes me in the middle of the night with the worst cramping pains and when I go I just pass mucus and blood and feel the need to really go. I run to the bathroom constantly just to pass a few ounces of mucus but it's the painful
but its the mucus that is the problem because it seems to build up and I have to rush to the bathroom about every 45min to an hour. I get horrible cramping pains and even when I pass the mucus, I still have horrible cramping pains like I have to go. What is causing all the mucus and how can I STOP having to go to the bathroom every hour?! This is killing me!!
