thanksss @winterbaby95 x

thankyou @oweatherby feel much better now,@laa286 piles oh lovely haha @taerx xx

Yeah, it is pretty common xD More so in pregnant women xD I got a few tears even before I was pregnant if I didn't eat well for a few days. Now that you are pregnant make sure you eat foods that are high in fibre and easy to break down xD :) :) Eating fruit and veg daily will help xD @chesscaxox

yep.....piles are main culprit I'm afraid to say. pressure from baby and hormones relaxing everything x

@chesscaxox, yeap, very common darling... if blood is bright and just a bit, don't worry) x

@oweatherby so is it just common then? x

Hemorrhoids are common during pregnancy. Pregnancy makes you more prone to hemorrhoids, as well as to varicose veins in the legs and sometimes even in the vulva, for a variety of reasons. Your growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic veins and the inferior vena cava, a large vein on the right side of the body that receives blood from the lower limbs. This can slow the return of blood from the lower half of your body, which increases the pressure on the veins below your uterus and causes them to become more dilated or swollen.

Constipation, another common problem during pregnancy, can also cause or aggravate hemorrhoids. That's because straining leads to hemorrhoids, and you tend to strain when having a hard bowel movement.

In addition, an increase in the hormone progesterone during pregnancy causes the walls of your veins to relax, allowing them to swell more easily. Progesterone also contributes to constipation by slowing down your intestinal tract.

very common things really) if you really concerned about it, ask GP or midwife for advice xx

Yeah because I have piles, (sorry for the gross info)

its not bleeding like bad but its fresh blood just wondering what I should do ? @winterbaby95

Yeah, mine sometimes did that when I had constipation in the past. It can leave fissures or tears. But if you are concerned. You should see a doctor xD @chesscaxox
