I can appreciate how alarming this must have been. It is quite possible that you have hemorrhoids.
First, I need to ask you a few questions.
Was the blood bright red? Was the stool dark almost black in color?
Did you see any blood in the stool? Did you strain to have a bowel movement?
Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Straining during bowel movements or increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy are two causes of hemorrhoids.
A small amount of bright red blood on your toilet tissue or in the toilet bowl is on sign of hemorrhoids.
There is no risk for pregnancy if you had intercourse while you were menstruating.

Is this helpful?
