Could be: Hemorrhoids are common in pregnancy. Avoiding constipation with increasing water intake, increasing exercise and eating prunes if necessary usually helps. A stool softener can also help, but talk to your OB-gyn to make sure it's "allowed".

History of reaccuring hemmrhoids. Chronic constipation fixed with fiber supplements and water. I seem to have blood when I strain or have hard BMs. It's very little and bright red. Only lasting until done wiping. Signs of colon cancer?

My last question was unclear. I had constipation since infancy. I have been paying more attention to BMs due to my hypochondria. I have hemorrhoids. No blood. Mucus cleared up. I still get feeling sometimes like I still got to go but can't. Cancer?
