Possoble TMI

I have noticed lately when I go BM i have slight spotting. It not all day nor does it last after the bathroom.

Could this be due to the pushing? Is this normal? Should I be concerened?

MrsSparklebottom:

Are you sure the spotting is coming from your vagina? If you get hemorrhoids they can cause some bleeding.

This.  And if you are having constipation issues causing you to have to strain, you may want to talk to your doctor about a safe stool softener or drink some juice regularly to make it easier to go.

Yes, if it's light spotting and only when you poop, it could be normal.  It could be hemmies, it could be anything.  

Bring it up at your next appointment if your concerned and in the meanwhile, eat more fiber.

That happened to me really early on (like 3 weeks) during a BM and the doctor said I was fine. When I researched it then, it seemed like it was fairly common. I agree with people telling you to just tell ur doctor. I'm sure it's fine though.

I am having the same thing happen. Think it is because of constipation. Try drinking more water and eating more fiber.

I've had it happen in previous pregnancies, at about 4 weeks and 8 weeks, but not as far along as you.  It was from my cervix and the strain of pushing during the BM.  Like the others said, ask your doctor, but it's probably nothing to worry about!
