Spotting question...TMI!!

Hey. So I'm 13 weeks today with my second. I have horrible constipation. I go once every 6-8 days! When I do I def. have to strain. But today when I had a bm I had some vaginal redish bleeding. I have no cramps or anything. It's been about 10 minutes so I suppose I'll be in there checking any minute now. Can anyone give insight?   I'm scared. I've never had spotting in either pregnancy or any reason.

You're positive it came from your vagina, and it wasn't from straining? If you're sure it came from your vagina, you should probably call your OB in the morning and let them know.

Are you sure it was vaginal bleeding and not rectal bleeding from straining? I get fissures in my skin if I strain too hard to have a bm(many women do, actually).

I have horrible hemorrhoids. That bleed probably to much. But it's never up in that region. Out if the three years I've had them its never traveled up there. And I'm sure I have many many fissures. My constipation is pretty extreme lol

I am thinking it's probably from straining to go... but occasional spotting I was told by my doctor is fairly common in pregnancy and no two pregnancies are the same. If it continues, or you get bad cramping then for sure get checked. If it will put your mind at ease, get checked too. Good luck mama!
