blood in stool

Ok so i have posted before about being constipated. Well today was my fourth day without having any kind of bowel movement. I called my Dr and they said try Miralax. So I took some earlier and finally just had one, but when I wiped there was blood on the toilet paper. I know it's probably from straining to go so my question is. If this happens again with blood should I be concerned? I'm only 9 weeks along and I feel like I call my Dr a lot with constipation issues. Should I call and tell them about this time. This did happen before a couple weeks ago and she didn't seem too concerned. Sorry ladies for rambling but just want to get on a healthy track.

I have an interior hemorrhoid...I know it's called something else...but it gets inflamed and every now and then it bursts. It looks like I have period there's so much blood. Sorry tmi. Freaked me out the first time. It's normal, it happens, as long as it's bright red.

Blood in stool is normal when constpated. What color was blood? If it was red like fresh blood it was you tearing your bowel while trying to poop... it's not dangerous just a little scary... I was constpated so bad I had more blood than poop once I got very worried I had never seen that much... I have a diploma for the medical field and had thought I had seen it all... well it was normal... try doculax it helps or get a prenatal with stool softener in it...
