probably being silly but really worried

[slushy06]

Im 30 weeks pregnant and for no reason lost5 pounds the other day. I have had black tar like POO (no iron tablets) which is either really constipated or runny. I also have anal bleeding. But today and yesterday I have been feeling really ill and weak after eating. Its prob nothing but does anyone no why this is.

Hi Slushy,
That could be a gut infection - black bowel movements might indicate bleeding. Or might you have eaten anything odd in large quantities? Doesn't sound particularly pregnancy related so I'd check it out with your GP rather than midwife first of all. Anal bleeding more likely to be piles but again GP would be best one to help.

I havn't eaten anything odd I did think of piles but discounted it because of other problems. I will make an appointment in the morning though.Thanks for the advice.

i'd def get to the doctor. not sure what it could be, I know that black or dark stools can indicate old blood in the stool. but I am sure there are plenty of other reasons for it as well!
best get yourself checked over though
