TMI! Im not sure if this is something to be worried about!?

[Caitlin1830]

So I had a hemmroid around 6weeks... I was very constipated but as pregnancy progressed I didn't notice myself being constipated anymore.  My hemmroid disappeared. Or so I thought!?  Anyway...  I'm 22 weeks now and noticing myself getting more and more constipated. I was constipated a couple days ago and didn't poop for 3 days... When I finally "dropped my load"  I bleed like crazy! It didn't really hurt that bad but it was literally dripping out of my a$$.  Now for the past maybe 3 days every time I poop, I bleed... Bright red! It's scary!  Even when I go to the bathroom and try to poop and nothing actually happens, the toilet gets ull of blood ;/ its not my vagina... I've made sure to check..  My boyfriend is worried and wants me to see a doctor, but everyone else tells me I ripped something or burst a hemmroid... But wouldn't I know if a hemmroid burst!? I mean, I've had poops before where I've strained too much and I've bleed but nothing I can remember that's made me bleed for days! It doesn't hurt, I don't even notice it until I wipe! Help!? I really don't want to sit in emergency for 7 hours for a bloody a$$hole!

First off, do not strain so hard. Its not good for body. Try stool softeners. Also, there is no need to go into hospital. Bright rred  blood is good (well, u kno what i mean). If the blood is ever a really dark  red, that would be when ud need to go in because thatd mean ur bleeding internally. Bright red means its superficial and annoying as it is, not too big of deal. Put a&d ointment on it & make sure to reapply everytime  u wipe. Not a lot just enough to have it be a barrier as ur undies or pad may rub & thats y it hasnt stopped.
I have worked in a nursing home for 7 years...,im not entirely crazy. Lol hope this helps :)

If you're straining to go to the bathroom, they'll usually start to bleed, its been happening to me as well.. I'd recommend going to your local pharmacy and picking up some pregnancy safe stool softners(the pharmacist will know which ones are safe) and that'll help with the constapation... Also you can get some preparation h hemmorhoid cream for everytime after you use the bathroom to help with any discomfort.. I've had to do both and its helped some.. hope you feel better!
