Wow, its amazing what we preg ladies get to talk about isnt it?? Not all beer and skittles!

Sometimes if I am constipated (basically all of first trimester) and have had a painful poo the resulting blood is actually a small tear as the poo is coming out (EE GADS ), rather than blood in the stool.

So you need to figure out if there was a small tear or if the poo had blood in it itself - IYKWIM??

Being the type of person who is horrified of my rear end being anywhere near a Dr I would probably wait until the next "event" and see if it happens again. The other way is if your bum is sore still then it might be that it was acually a tear?

Hope you arent freaking out too much...
