I have 2 ear infections. one and both ear. so i havent gone number 2 in a couple days because it hurts my ears to push. Well today i went, and i made sure i did nice and slow so it would hurt me. When i was done i notice that it had blood on it. Should i call the hospital? could something be wrong with my baby? I've been taking tyenol a lot latley for the pain. My doctor said i could take up to 8 a day. And the pain is so bad that I have been taking about that much. I feel bad but the doctor reasured me that it was safe. Could the tyenol have something to do with my stool being bloody? Please help!

Your best bet is calling your doctor and if you keep bleeding than you should go to your nearest emergency room. I had that happened to me and it turned out to be hemroids many pregnant women get them. For now relax and take things slow. Consult with your doctor and keep a close eye on what ever comes out of your body. Good luck.

The bloody stool is probably just from you not going for so long. Even if you were careful your stool would be harder from sitting in your colon for than normal. Hemmoroids are VERY common in pregnancy also and that can definitely cause your stool to be bloody. I've never heard of tylenol being a problem as long as you stay within the recommended dosage which it sounds like you're doing. My ob/gyn said fibercon was okay to take while you're pregnant and that would probably help you stay more regular. Don't worry too much unless the blood is coming from your vagina (but a difficult bm can cause that too). Still, when in doubt call the Dr.!

Was the stool hard? If you haven't gone in a few days and your constipated, then it could have just made some small tears in your rectum as it was being released. I don't see it hurting your baby. I don't see it being a problem unless it's a large amount of blood or if it persists over a couple of days. It never hurts to talk to your dr about ANY concerns. There's no such thing as a stupid question. Good Luck and congrats on the pregnancy!!!

You need to go to a doctor. I am not convinced that something is wrong with the baby in as much as you should not have bloody stools.

You probably have hemorrhoids. Bloody stool can't possibly be something wrong with the baby as long as you're sure the blood is coming from the rectum. I'd mention it to your doctor next time you go in, but it's probably just hemorrhoids. They're common in pregnancy.

It really depends if the blood was bright red or dark red. Why don't you call your doctor right now (there is an emergency number, right?) and see what they say otherwise go to the ER. It always amazes me why someone would come here for medical advice.

How far along are you? if you are big, you may be getting hemroids, they can bleed and make it look like its in your stool...I wouldn't freak out if its just a little bit. You could call your dr and ask, but I wouldn't go to the er unless your dr says to.....

Babies don't come from there! Blood in your stool could very well be something serious....call your Dr. but I am sure you will be fine!

If there is ever any doubt about the baby you should always call your Dr. It will not hurt anything to be reassured

You should go see your ob/gyn. Even it there is nothing wrong with your baby it would not hurt to go to the doctor.
