Re: it hurts when I poop! (pretty graphic)

Excellent advice haze!

How many weeks are you?

Have you noticed any blood at all in your stools or on the toilet paper? During pregnancy you can get hemroids/varicose veins up higher in the rectum. Sometimes it has nothing to do with straining to go pooh - but it's just because of the extra weight and pressure from the baby.

Eat lots of fruits and veggies and drink plenty of water. A glass of prune juice or tomato juice per day may also help you loosen your stools.
