I am 6 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Ok, I know this is gross but I need some help here! I just went to the bathroom (#2) and with pregnancy comes constipation, right! Ok, so obvisously I'm having a hard time going... after I was done and I wiped and there was red blood! I've been spotting for about 3 weeks but my doctor said that everything is fine. My progesteron levels were good when he did a blood test.
Why would I bleed after going to the bathroom? Because I was straining and pushing?? This is the first time this has happened. HELP!!!

Hello TheKLP,
As you said yourself, the constipation and all the changes that pregnancy causes have an effect on your complete body. Not only you, but a large portion of pregnant women do experience problems with their bowel movement in early pregnancy and these problems sometimes do cause hemorrhoids.
Since the blood is bright red, this means it’s fresh or directly linked to the bowel movement. Again, you should talk about this with your doctor because hemorrhoids are a completely different thing than spotting. And it’s far better to treat the constipation if you can, than to allow this to cause you even more problems in the future. You will probably get advices about diet and things you can do to prevent constipatin, but still, it’s better to check this with the doctor.

Why does a woman bleed through her rectum when using the bathroom? Is that something serious?
