Answer

could be hemorrhoids ? you could have ripped down there a little. sometimes being pregnant were dry down there and can cause our skin to get little rips or cuts. if it's just after a bowel movement and not when you pee then I think it's probably just that which is totally normal and happens with pregnancy. I have this and I asked my doc yesterday and he said to buy miralax and he assured me it's completely safe nothing getting absorbed by baby or anything. he said to use it as directed on the bottle 2 to 3 times a week. he also said buy wipes to clean better down there and put Vaseline on the area after. but you can call your doctor to be safe.

Answer

I agree, sounds like hemorrhoids. In my first pregnancy I took Colace daily to keep my bowels moving. I also ended up needing a Rx to treat the hemorrhoids. So far I’m still pooping regularly in this pregnancy but I have also been trying harder to drink water in this pregnancy.
