Wayyyy TMI

I just went to the bathroom and had a bowel movement.  When I wiped (I'm so sorry), I noticed blood and the toilet was pink.  

Has this happened to anyone?  Should I see someone?

Wait, was the blood from the front or the back?

From the back

This happened to me when I had too many red velvet cupcakes in a day.  What did you eat today?

Have you been constipated lately?  If you have been and maybe it took a little straining, that could definitely happen.  I wouldn't worry unless it continues and you're in pain when you go.  It happened to me once, and then not again.  Try maybe adding some more fiber, or even maybe a stool softener if you're having "issues" LOL.

I had a little issue yesterday so that could have been it.  I'm hoping it won't happen again.

 Thanks for the reassurance, ladies.

I am usually very embarrassed to talk about it, but since you brought it up..

I actually had this problem before concieving, but its gotten worse now. I struggle sometimes when going, and then almost feel like it ripped me, and there is blood on the tissue paper. I take stool softener a lot, this is the most painful thing Ive experienced

I had the exact same thing today! (Sorry TMI) I turned out fine

I agree with the other posters and i think you should try Colace (a stool softner...remember it makes it easier to go...doesn't make you go!) or a generic brand.  If it continues and there's a lot, like the toilet is more red than pink, then i'd call your doctor.

Word! This is me exactly too!

I talked to a friend who had severe constipation while pregnant. She said power pudding works: apple sauce, prunes, and fiber (like Benefiber) go in the blender together. 1 tablespoon a day should help keep you regular.

I've just been adding more fruit to my diet and it seems to help. Colace does nothing for me at all...

Did you eat beets?  I had too many for lunch one day and convinced myself it was major blood in my stool.

Probably a hemmie   Mine (result of having DS) have flared up in the past couple weeks.
