Question Posted: 08-20-07 11:10am
I asked this in the Pregnancy forum, but
nobody answered me. Thought I might get a
response here.
I'm 6 weeks pregnant, and am having
problems with constipation already. I go
like every 4 days right now. Well I went
earlier, and there was a little bit of
light blood in it. Is that okay or is this
something i need to worry about? I'm
terrified of having a miscarriage.
I'm going to call my doctor when I go on
break, but I want your experiences as
well.

I was constipated for my entire pregnancy.
I would go once a week if I was lucky and
I'd be so uncomfortable at times I could
have cried. When you are getting close to
having the baby it gets easier (or it did
for me).
Drink lots of water, eat lots of roughage
(salads, greens), try to eat raisins, bran
muffins, etc. Good luck.

ahh however i forgot to add that
constipation is normal during pregnancy
expecially while takeing prenatals.
and if you were haveing a mc then you
would have cramping and bright red blood
like a period almost.

I don't have any pain or cramping at all.
I am taking prenatals though. I really
pushed hard to get that little bit to come
out. The blood was so light I barely
noticed it.
I looked online and it said that sometimes
you can tear little vessels if you do that
in early pregnancy.
I just called my doctor, and they said to
call back in about 30 minutes and ask the
nurse, but the lady on the phone didn't
think it was anything to worry about
unless I see more blood and have pain and
cramping.
