34 weeks pregnant. Blood in Stool. very worried. HELP!?!


Question: 34 weeks pregnant!. Blood in Stool!. very worried!. HELP!!?
Ok here is the deal!. This has been ongoing since approx 28 weeks!.!.!.
It started as mucous in my stools!. Stools were smaller but rather normal!. Mucous would come before or after a stool usually or sometimes I would get a rush of urgency and only pass mucous!. It had a smelly odor!. Then I started seeing blood!. Now I see blood every day and mucous at least every other day!. Sometomes I just pass the blood/mucous with no bowel movement!. I am not constipated!. I do not have diahrrea!. I do not bad abdominal pain, just some discomfort sometimes!. I get a sour stomach feeling though!. The urgency is really strong whether I pass stool or just the mucous or blood!. Sometimes it is hard to make it on time!. The blood is bright red and most of the day it is just in small amounts, but atleast one time during the day it is in a larger quantity!. The OBGYN told me to go to my family Doc!. He did an exam and found no hemmorhoids or abvious fissures!. He did put me on supposotories!. Nothing works!. Very scared!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm 25 weeks and have had very similar symptoms for quite some time now but they are slowly going away!. I told my OB/GYN and he said it was probably hemmoroids even though he did not check!. He said some women fill the whole stool with blood!. Mine hasn't been that bad (and has been a mucous-like mixture as well) and since he did not seem concerned, I have tried not to worry!. I'm guessing it has been all the changes in hormones plus the tremendous amount of pressure put in that area!. Just eat lots of fiber and drink plenty of water!. Hope this helps!. You are getting close to delivery time and if it continues after giving birth, then have a more thorough examination!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To be safe go to your regular doctor!. It is probably nothing but again to be safe!.!.!. go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well because the doctor didn't find hemmorhoids doesn't mean there aren't any!. The formation of hemmorhoids is very common in pregnancy, and bright red blood is almost always a sign of hemmorhoidal irritation!. If you are obsessed about this, then go see a proctologist and have a sigmoidoscopy done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
