Ghost help/blood in BM

[Summerbda]

Hi
I'm 11w4d pg after IVF! The last couple days I've noticed burgendy colored lines in BM??? I sure it's blood//today there was a small amount of orange mucus too!?? I'm VERY scared!
I am constapated but don't strain to go, just don't go everyday! But most of the time I just drink orange juice/eat fiber ceral and drink decaff coffee and I go!!
What should I do?? PLEASE HELP!!
I know w/colon-o-scopies (sorry about spelling)they put you to sleep.......I'm 45 yrs old......
Thank you very much.....

Is it a lot? I also had some red 'bm' spots when I was pregnant. It doesn't sound like too much to worry about. Even if you don't strain per se, being constipated irritates that very sensitive area. I also bled more easily during pregnancy. The blood vessels (and everything, for that matter) expand to accomodate the little bub. Relax, and just talk to your ob. Congrats and have a happy and safe pregnancy.

Hi!

Congrats on your pregnancy! I agree with Sharishu. I´ve had same thing happen to me. I was concerned with hemorrhoids but I don´t think I have any. I think it´s all the extra blood we have prego ladies have plus the constipation. If it gets too bad or you´re too concerned ask your doc.

Happy pregnancy
