Is Blood Along With Stool During Pregnancy Normal?

Hi. I am in my first trimester of pregnancy, and last night I awoke with some pretty bad cramps. They felt like dehydration cramps, or just that I needed to go to the bathroom really bad. Nothing was coming out right away, but I started to feel faint and had to sit down on the floor a couple of times, and also felt nausea. I drank some sips of water, and broke out into a cold sweat after the faintness passed. Then I finally was able to pass my stools, and had some of the worst diarrhea I ve ever had. I drank some more water and went back to sleep. This morning when I woke up, I felt I needed to poop again, and liquid spurted out into the toilet, that I discovered was blood when I looked into the toilet. I ve gone a few times since then, and the bloodiness seems to be lessening, getting pinker, not as much, etc, but feels kind of bubbly when I am pushing out. My rectum does not hurt, I am not aware of a hemmhroid or tear.... Does this sound serious, or can I wait a bit to see how I feel in a few hours?

You could potentially be very sick. Please go get evaluated. Bright red blood from the rectum is never normal, especially when it comes with diarrhea. Depending on how much blood you lost, you could be anemic.
