Yes it wasn’t a large amount - but because I was trying to go to the toilet at the time it went into the toilet and I think it looked like more blood than it was when it reached the water. Would the GP prescribe a cream? Thank you x
You can buy it over the counter. Bring it up with your midwife next time you see her and she might check for you that everything is okay x
Yeah, that’s haemorrhoids 🙃 I got them in this pregnancy too. Gave me a fright seeing blood in the toilet bowl. If there’s nothing on the outside, it’ll be internal. It’s very normal (I think it’s like 30-40% of pregnant women get it from pressure on the bowel off baby). You can use creams over the counter and suppositories. I just got some off Amazon, I think they were germoloids which is pregnancy safe and they were instant relief and it’s vanished again xx
Thank you so much xx
It might also help to increase fibre in your diet or you can get high fibre supplements you mix in water and drink called fibogel I think. Available from boots. I was recommended this by a doctor after I had a similar issue
Probably haemorrhoids, was it just small droplets when you wiped? most of us get them when we’re pregnant, so don’t be embarrassed. There are creams you can get to help
