Sorry for TMI but I'm 13 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding while pooing. Has any one experienced this?

If it's from your bum, and red blood, its likely to be piles.

Yeah had this a few times especially if you get constipated easily in pregnancy etc.

It can be from piles but also straining or a fissure (hurts like hell) so I would advise laxido to soften stool which you can buy via chemist or get on prescription.

Word of caution. Straining while constipation can (I'm say CAN) sometimes cause brown spotting a few days later and it's down to the vagina/uterus being full of extra blood - scares the crap out of you litterly but the above stuff with help (it's not a laxative just a stool softner).

Hope that helps.
