Help!! Bleeding hemorrhoid 21 weeks

Hi all! Anyone have any experience with bleeding hemorrhoids? I’m a bit worried as there was bleeding from rectum as I went to go #2. Help!!

Update: I understand it may be common however I’m wondering if the amount of blood should worry me? There was quite a few drops in toilet and on tissue

Definitely have had some bleeding and I upped my fiber and water intake and it’s been fine ever since. Try not to stress.

It’s clots that form in the veins one burst the other day and blood gushed everywhere I couldn’t tell where it was coming from cause there was so much I went to ER and they said I was fine. So don’t worry you are all good:) sorry for tmi pic just wanted to ease your mind that if I was ok you are too! Many blessings

I’m 36 weeks and this was Sunday night I felt water dripping down my leg and i thought my water broke but it was a puddle of blood but didn’t hurt. They said it will just heal on it’s own. I use preparation H and tucks pads. Take Sitz baths a couple times a day and don’t do too much strenuous activities.

Nothing to be worried about. Hemorrhoids are very common especially in pregnancy and after labour. Common to bleed also. You can pick up some preparation H or Anusol at your local pharmacy (canada not sure where your from) or talk to your OB about options.
