Really BAD Constipation...?

[mommy_vianeeey]

So this past Friday, I used the restroom for the first time in about three days. It was like ROCK hard and painful. When it came out it felt like it stretched my hole really suddenly, I suffer from hemorrhoids and when I wiped, there was a little bit of blood.
The next time I pooped on Sunday, I wiped and there was still a little bit of blood.
Today on Tuesday, There was only a pea sized amount of blood.
So I'm wondering if this is because of irritation? What can I take so I won't be as constipated?
I'm 24 weeks btw, and sorry for being kinda gross, I know it's tmi but the pain of pooping is soo annoying.

With my daughter, I was so badly constipated, I pooped literally a 6lb ****!!! Like a freaking football!!!!  I joked after I went "I just dropped a 6 pounder!" Went to the doctors later in the day and weighed exactly 6 pounds less than my appointment the week before. I gained zero weight from being so plugged up with her. I couldn't eat because it was backed up to my stomach. I had to eat non-binding fibers. Some fiber with ball it up and is good for diarrhea but you don't want that when constipated. You want fiber that will get it moving. Prune juice and metamucil is what I used but even after trying that, I still needed an enema because it was too much regardless of me slamming a bottle of the juice. I lived off of maybe 10 crackers a day in my third trimester with her. I had no idea I was constipated at first either because the juices would squeeze past and diarrhea is common in pregnancy. It was horrible and lead to me being induced, actually. This one, I've had it slightly on and off. Gonna get some fiber powder to try to prevent that again!!! All else fails, get an enema at the doctors because I've never been so relieved by stranger sticking something in my butt. Lol!

I had the same similar problem two weeks ago and I started drinking prune juice twice a day and it help. Now I'm back to normal and drink the juice once a day to make sure it done happen again. Hope this helps

Ive had the same thing happen to me all I did was increase my water and fiber intake .but you can also use phloe or metamucil you can get these in  your local supermarket which I use every day keeps me regular and totally safe to use while pregnant.

My husband bought preparation H extra stengeth with an inserting top. Painless for the most part but healed my pain and i have never felt more comfortable with this issue as I do now. $10 bucks and some prayer! Thank God! And thank u husband! Oh and for the hard stool prune juice makes miracles. One glass a day for me. Drink however much u need! Be well boo!!!!

When I had that problem my doctor advised me to take Peri-colace. You can find it at Walgreens or any drugstore.  It not only helps you go, but it makes it easier to go also. Trust me it WORKS!

Could be see o very many things like not eating or drinking enough or enough of the right foods.. A deficiency or something..  I would go see a doctor though.. Ideally u should be going a couple times a day

Eat more fibre ie fruit and vegetables and prunes. It'll ease everything up...

Hmmm. It can also be your vitamins that is making it worse. I used to get like that too. It's painful. What I woukd do is drink a lot of water. It actually works. Also tell your doctor. My doctor gave me some other kind of pills idk if they were vitamins or what but their little orange gel to help me digest.
