Bleeding...

[stressed out]

Sorry, a bit gross but please read; I am 3 months pregnant and i went to have a number 2 earlier and when i finished there wass blood on the tissue and the toilet had an iron smell like blood! Am i ok? It's not coming from my V so i guess it's not the baby.

I think this is quite obvious; see your doctor!!!

Blood is never good, baby or no baby.

Are you on iron tablets? I was on those when I was pregnant with Pippsicle number one, and it made me constipated & bleed..not nice!

I can't think what else it might be besides a bit of an overdose in iron. If you are really worried go see your doc :o)

It could just be constipation, or maybe you've developed a haemmoroid if the blood looks 'fresh' (i.e. bright red, fluid). Make sure it's definitely not coming from the front (I know it sounds obvious, but just be sure) and book in to see your GP.

Was just going to mention piles as well, which it probably is more likely than anything else.

However, must reitterate- go see your GP.

Always speak to your GP or midwife if concerned about anything when pregnant.

Chances are it is just piles caused by dehydration in the hot weather but better to be safe than sorry eh?

Dont worry, they wont need to see, just give them full description of what occured.

Just call your GP Stressed. Most likely is just piles but better to be safe than sorry. Good Luck xx

The 'iron' smell is probably due to an iron increase because of your pregancy. Piles are extremely common in pregnant women, and they do 'pop' occasionally (sorry!) but to be safe, have a word with your GP who will have a peepe and make sure all is well.

Makes you wonder how the world got over-populated doesn't it!
