So yesterday I was very upset when I noticed I was bleeding after a BM...and then again later when it happened again. I was panicking wondering if I should call my Dr. and getting ready to google rectal bleeding during pregnancy, when I remember the massive quantities of red velvet cake I have eaten in 2 days (MH bought one on sale, and we had one at a work bridal shower). Once I remembered it made sense and seemed more like it was red dye and not blood, but it really looked like blood. So just a PSA for you ladies who like red velvet cake...save yourself the stress and REMEMBER that you ate a ton of dark red cake!
Re: Red Velvet Cake Warning! :-p

I have a very funny red velvet cake story.
I went to a wedding and the groom's cake was red velvet...my favorite. I woke up the next morning after a heavy night of drinking and got in the shower. I then threw up in the shower (yeah I know...klassy) and it was dark red. The first thing that ran threw my mind was "OMG! I'm in NH, away from home, DH is deployed and I'm going to have to go to the hospital for a bleeding ulcer!". I promptly threw up a bit more and it dawned on me that it was all the red velvet cake I had eaten the night before.
I never said not to eat it...I said remember you ate it! I don't want to prevent anyone form eating cake, I just wanted to prevent panic
