Hi, sorry I'm not sure if my issue is to do with pregnancy or if it's a seperate health query so I'm hoping someone can advise and help me.
I'm 9+3 weeks pregnant. No current dc. 1 previous mc.
Today I really needed a poo, like it was there and ready, I went to the toilet and didn't need to push. When I wiped & checked the tissue, there was red blood. Blood was from bum not vagina.
After that I had back ache in my lower back which disappeared when I got in the bath.. I haven't got out of bath yet to know if it's gone or not.
I was going to just monitor and wait and see of it happened again or next time I pooed but my anxieties won't calm down and I don't know what to do.
When I had my booking in appointment last week the midwife said that I am not to worry and if I have any concerns to speak to her and she'll do the worrying. It's a nice thought but my question is, is this an issue to speak to the midwife about? Could it be part of or affecting the pregnancy? Or is it an issue to go to my GP with? Should I just keep an eye on it?
My dh is working away until Friday and I just don't know what's best to do!
