Is this worth an emergency appointment or should I wait until Monday?

Earliest non-emergency appointment I can get with GP is Monday.

I had blood in very loose stools this morning, after a few days of constipation (unusual for me). My piles are back with a vengeance. Last night my legs were aching and a had a dizzy spell when I got up from the table.

I've had periodic gut pain for a few weeks since I did something at pilates. This may be totally unrelated. I've had separated stomach muscles since DD1 4 years ago, but after DD2 1 year ago I was doing really well with strengthening things up via pilates and finally felt like I'd found my obliques and could support myself properly. I did a roll-back where you basically go from a sitting position to lying on the floor and I felt something 'go' between my lower ribs under my breastbone. Since then I've had nipping pains all down my midline, especially around and below my belly button. This is not unfamiliar to me (after dd1) but I haven't had them since dd2. My stomach feels weak. It aches in the car (sodding sports suspension). I've had pains elsewhere in my gut too, but not in any particular place so I've assumed it's been digestive. I'm on a restricted diet due to BF (no dairy, soy, wheat, egg, nuts) so haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary apart from Swedish meatballs from tesco the other day which are new on our menu.

I'm not worried as in panicking, but I don't want to leave things over the weekend if there's the potential that the bleeding might get worse. I'm hoping that it's a one off.

I'd appreciate any thoughts from health professionals if there are any out there.

Ta.

I think that this would justify an emergency appointment.

OK will try and get one tomorrow. Must stop googling. I hate the thought that I might be a paranoid patient.
