Bad Constipation


Today I had some really bad constipation.  This might be TMI but I had a hard time with my bowel movement.  It was actually really painful coming out because it was big and hard and I felt pain and was worried I was going to tear something.  When I looked down I was bleeding.  Kind of a lot.  Like mid-week on your period.  I read that pregnant women often get hemorrhoids that cause bleeding during bowel movements but this is the first time I’ve experienced any pain or blood.  Going number two has become more difficult since I got pregnant but that was only minor constipation until now.  Otherwise I felt no discomfort or pain in that area.  I did double check to make sure and it was definitely coming from that area.  I’ll mention it to my Dr when I see her at my next appointment but I don’t think it’s anything to worry much about unless it keeps happening.  Online forums suggest eating prunes or drinking prune juice to help with the constipation so I’m going to try that.

On the pleasant side of things, before that all happened Joe and I put up all the nursery wall decorations.  We just have a few finishing touches to add and then the nursery will be all ready.  I got the Cocalo Turtle Reef set with a Little Bedding Ocean Dreams Mobile (I didn’t like the Cocalo mobile so I opted for a different one, but it fits perfectly).  Besides the crib bedding and mobile we finished putting up all the wall hangings and decals.  It looks so cute!
