blood in stool

[HisMommyT]

TMI but, I just used the bathroom and had blood in my stool. I'm sure the blood came from my bottom, no pain or anything. FTM so I'm really scared. I called my doctor and she said everything is fine but I should come in next week to check. She said she's pretty sure it's hemorrhoids. I never had hemorrhoids so I'm not sure what to expect. Anybody else experience this? Please let me know. Baby is currently 26 weeks, 27 weeks in two days. Thanks Ladies!

It's hemorrhoids. . Pregnancy makes them worse or makes them come out cuz of the pressure n the being constipated.  Take a warm bath not hot. I had them really bad during my last pregnancy that I couldn't sit. B4 I got pregnant this time I had the removed so I didn't get that during this pregnancy. But even then I got a few but they don't hurt that much not since they r small. If urs get inflamed it'll b very painful. U can have external or internal hemorrhoids

Thank you ladies! I do feel a bit better and not so worried anymore. It's nice to be able to reach out to so many other women with similar experiences. Thank you thank you :)

Oh and also( don't answer here) but was ur stool hard? That could also be a cause. If so drink lots of water and eat ur greens:)

If ur poo has blood on the out sides of it or in streaks most likely it is hemmeroids if ur stool has blood inside than make an appointment so ur doc can do an occult blood test on ur poo. Good luck

Sounds like hemmerhoids.

If the doc says it's fine, you're probably fine. Not to concerning. Pregnant women get stuff like that. If it was more serious, the doc would be more concerned.
