Something to be aware of!!

But totally TMI!! This didn't happen at all with my first pregnancy so I thought I'd share since it scared the ever living crap out of me! 
Everytime I have a BM now, which is like never because I'm so damn constipated! I have a little bit of vaginal bleeding. Only after I wipe and then it's gone. I already called the dr and she said its normal, but definitely can make you have a freak out in the bathroom! Just thought I'd share since I know I'm not the only constipated one! Apparently the straining irritates the cervix or something or another. Hope this is somewhat helpful!! 

Re: Something to be aware of!!

  • I had this for about a week straight and the nurses said it was totally normal. It stopped two days ago and I'm 5 weeks 5 days. I can understand why it makes you freak out but try not to worry, it's so common. If it's bright red or soaking through, then call your doctor. Best of luck to you!!! And congratulations!

    Thankfully I'm not having any constipation, but I also find that if I ever am using a bidet helps. They have a type of bidet you can attach to a regular toilet which I highly recommend (see luxe bidet and others on amazon). At home I rinse myself after every trip to the bathroom and find it's kind of disgusting not to.

    TMI, but if you're having trouble pooping you can angle the water to kind of help flush the colon... it works!
  • This was happening to me, though I don't have constipation. Every single time I had a BM there would be a tiny bit of color when I wiped. Definitely freaked me out. I told my doc last week and he was like yeah, it happens, no biggie. Scared me though!

  • I am really glad you posted this when you did! The last two mornings I have had this happen and it freaked me out a bit. Glad to know it is nothing to worry about!
