Bleeding from the rectum has nothing to do with your pregnancy so there is nothing to worry in that aspect.
Maroon-colored stools or bright red blood usually suggest that the blood is coming from the large bowel or rectum which can be either hemorrhoids or inflammation in the colon, but it can also be due to a rapid bleeding in the stomach.Foods like beets and tomatoes can sometimes make stools appear reddish which seem to look like blood.
Do not worry so much. As long as you feel alright just observe how it goes for a few days. If bleeding persist on the next few days, then you need to see a doctor to be certain of what is going on.
Take care!♥

I had the same problem...it was called a crevice or something like that...its not quite a hemmorrhoid. Your stools are hard, and they have torn the rectum. I was told to take in more fibre...the best way to do that was to take metamucil every day to soften the stools. Go and check with your Dr to be sure...it won't harm the baby at all...but it may get more unomfortable

You are probably constapated a little bit. The hard stool can be difficult to pass through your "butt Hole" (sorry I don't have the medical term for it). That can result in a little tearing and bleeding. It has happend to me and I am 24 weeks along. Its just another one of those perks of being pregnant

I'm not a doctor, but it could be hemorrhoids. Still, to be safe, I would call your doctor fairly soon.
Red blood is a sign that the blood is fresh and that's what you'll see with hemorrhoids, but it could be other things. Hemorrhoids don't necessarily have to be painful or itchy. Please call your current dr.

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/RemediesForHemorrhoids
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

Hemorrhoids aren't a vaginal thing, so we can rule that out immediately. See your OB doc and request an order for an ultrasound. an US is the only way to get solid answers. Really, it's not that uncommon to spot a little during pregnancy. good luck and don't worry...

very common they usually clear up on there own just tell your doctor it's nothing to worry about. My husband had hemroids very BAD he bleed a lot he had to have surgery to fix them. If it's just a bit of blood no reason to worry my husbands were like a light period.

In all likelihood, this has nothing to do with pregnancy. You may have hemorrhoids or you could have a bleeding ulcer.
Best to see your doctor.

I had this after the birth of my daughter, it is hemroids. But not major and will clear up on it's own. Drink lots of water and eat fruit. It will help...

It could be internal hemmeroids. Theyre pretty common.
it could also be iron in your system.
I'd mention it to your doctor, just to make sure theres not a greater problem.
