I am five months pregnant. This morning I had a bowel movement that was covered in this white mucus. Could this be a problem?
Hi ekabear: The only time you really need to worry about bowel movements - when you are pregnant - is if you have severe back pain, and diareha! This can be a sign of labour. Also blood in your stool is never a good thing - other than it coming from hemmroids that is!
The mucus could be a little infection you have in your colon or bowel. It could also have something to do with what you ate 48 hours before. Also if you have been feeling nauseaus over the last couple of days, you could have had a bug in your stomach. Many people who do cleansing always state about the amount of mucus in their stools. In the West we have so much stored feces in our bodies, that is why we have the highest levels of stomach cancer! So white mucus is a good thing! It's just more "c**p - excuse my crudity" that your body is effectively getting rid of! Good Luck and Health
