I wasnt straining and it wasnt painful at all.
I was moreso worried because there were clots on the tissue. I have no idea what it was but there was a HUGE amount of blood on two occassions.
Im still using the supposetries just incase it was haemorroids but due to my IBS i can go a week maybe more without needing a number 2 (sorry if TMI lol)
It COULD be hemroids or hair lines tears of the anus. I too have experienced bleeding during a bowel movement and this has happened to me off and on for years. Was there any straining during the bowel movement? Was it larger than normal...I know, gross, but all these factors could contribute.
Next time you have a bowel movement pay real close attention. Wipe your bum first and see if there is blood...then wipe in front, being careful not to touch too far back to see if there is blood in the front. Some women DO have unexplained bleeding during pregnancy and as scary as it is, so long as baby is doing fine all should be well. But like you did, anytime you are uncertain...run to that hospital..as long as you get peace of mind, that's all that matters.
i'm so sorry hear that you are going through all this and i know that it will be a very stressfull time for you. I had vaginal bleeding at 6 wks and two lots of bleeding at 13 1/2 wks (30th dec and 31st) I was addmitted into hospital on 30th december when i went to a+e and was addmited to the ward.I stopped bleeding that first night but the hospital kept me in just to be checked on. Early new years eve morning i went to the toilet (i had to pee in a jug) there was no urine there just pure bright red blood. I shouted the nurse straight away and then i collapsed onto the corridor floor and it took the nurse a while to bring me round. I had an internal done again straight away and the doctor thought i was misscarrying. An emergency scan was booked for me on new years eve and my little one was ok. It took me 4 wks to get over it all because i was in soo much pain and i was too scared to move some days. sometimes now i still get a little scared when it comes to wipeing myself after i've been to the loo just incase there is anything there. I hope you get well soon and please keep us posted.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I can only imagine that it is very scary.
I hope that you don't have anymore problems either. God bless and keep us posted!!
I havent had any bleeding since thursday night (Thank God) but if it happens again il be sure to ask.
Midwife says to try cover myself when wiping at one end or the other BUT its kinda hard to remember when youre half asleep and stumbling to the toilet at 6am.
Hoping this is the end of the trauma and the rest of this pregnancy will pass by quickly without any mishaps though :)
Thats definitely scary! Since this happens a lot when you use the restroom, prehaps you could ask your midwife if you could try inserting a clean tampon into your vagina (Probably not all the way up, in case that irritates the cervix) every time before you go, and then remove it a few mins after you have urinated or had a bowel movement. Any blood on the tampon would mean the bleeding is vaginal and blood in the toilet and NOT the tampon means its coming from the urethra or the rectum - this would be a good way to identify where the bleeding is coming from. That being said, check with your midwife or doctor to make sure there isnt a problem with doing this during pregnancy.
It was scary - i feel fine just worries me a little.
Have been havng braxton hicks alot lately too.
Just wish i knew one way or the other where it was coming from
omg sweety idk where it can be coming from but i hope it gets better it sounds really scary
