Dear Body, you suck!

Princess_Lily · November 2013

I went to the bathroom this morning, and while only getting.a little. out.there was nothing would come out. I started to bleed, like bright red blood. It seems to have stopped a bit,.

I am so f'in done with this pregnancy. Between the month long. Promordal labor,, severe contractions that tease, the severe heartburn that is keeping me up and now the rectal bleeding...body of mine...you suck.

Did you call your doc about the bleeding?

She said it was rectal bleeding, not vaginal. Likely from a hemroid. They're pleasant. Not. Vaginal bleeding should be reported, but her OB/MW probably isn't concerned with hemroids at this point.

OP - I agree. I'm so done with the nightly contractions that stop mysteriously in the morning. I'm sick of hemroids. And I'm definitely sick of feeling like someone kicked me in the vag. Time for these LO's to come out.

Hemroids are horrible!! I wish I could say they go away but unfortunately mine did not after DD2. I have found that Aquaphor helps a lot. Even more so then any cream they sell for it. After cleaning up from a bm I would take a small amount of toilet paper and put some on. It helps relieve the irritation and tenderness for me. Good luck!

As a precautionary I did call, but I am thinking its severe constipation brought about from a poor diet (Halloween indulgences) & anti-nausea meds.

As of today I am really watching what I'm eating (water, fruits, salads). I also have some suppositories I can use, but I don't want to just yet until I speak with the on call. I highly doubt they will send me in...since hemmroids are quite common, the scary part was the bleeding, but that may have been from bearing down too much.

I've had bleeding like that before, earlier on in my pregnancy........good ol' hemorrhoids and constipation! Not. It seriously sucks. Stool softener has become my best friend.

I'm done too. I had a sweet little hemorrhoid pop up a yesterday ( I am thankful this is the first since my pregnancy), and I have had contractions all night, that wake me up and cause a horrible night of "sleep". My whole reproductive system feels like it got kicked in the nuts. I am so ready to meet my sweet babes, and have my body back.

Ask your doctor about taking a stool softener. I had to because of my iron pill stopping things up. I feel sooo much better now though!!

Rectal bleeding, that's the pits bro. Get something comfy to sit on! We're in the home stretch!
