tmi - about stool

[jrayn]

Is this a "symptom" or something bad?
I didn't have to push or anything but their was blood in my stool
I wiped and saw it and thought - "ooooh bloody show!" then realized it was not from my vagina.

i'm not sure i'd call my m/w could it be 'roids?

[maureen73]

I really don't think it is anything bad...hopefully not because if so I have alot to worry about. If it is not roids then it could be fissures on the inside that are like little blood vessels that "pop" during a BM from straining or simply the weight of the baby. You should be fine but maybe mention to your health care provider to be sure.

Yea, I read it online after I posted, it is either from hemroids or from pressure, I have both, this baby has definitely dropped, I can feel the head w/out going in my gina!

sounds like hemorrhoids to me.

It could be from something you ate. I have heard that brocolli and nuts can cause blood in stool. Don't worry unless it was more than a tiny amount.

I have had this twice. the first time I thought it was bloody show also and got really excited.
