What Causes Blood In Stool During Pregnancy?
I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second child and over 40. I have not had any problems thus far, but this morning I went to the bathroom to pee and stool. After I stool d I wiped and noticed a light pink smudge of blood on the bath tissue. I noticed what felt like a pin or sharp type or scratching sensation when I stool d like there was something in the stool. It was not pleasant feeling. I always look after wiping and this is a first for me. What could it be?

Hi
From your description it appears that may be you have anal fissure or piles.
See a surgeon.
To ease the pin like pain you should avoid constipation. So use high fibre diet (salads, green leafy vegetables, fruits whole grain bread etc) and drink at least 2 litres of water daily. You may need stool softners. Discuss with your doctor.
