    Prolapsed bowel and induction planned for tomorrow NEED ADVIC
    Hey, a few of you may remember me but I posted a question not too long ago as I was having trouble going to the toilet for a number 2, I would have pain and pass blood, as I couldn't make my docters appointement due to family problems I have been researching my problem online.

    I think I may have a prolapsed bowel or a rectal prolapse,I have all the symptoms, I am usually unable to pass any bowel movements and when I do it's the smallest amount followed by a lot of mucus and part of my bowel actually comes out but goes back inside when I have finished bearing down.

    I will get pain in like my left bum cheek! And pain on the inside of my leg at the top, I am now 41 weeks and 5 days, I am being admitted to hospital at 8am tomorrow morning to be induced, I know there's nothing really doctors or midwives can do to fix the problem whilst I am pregnant but is there any risks that I should know about for having a prolapsed bowel and being in labour? Also will labour hurt more? Will it harm my baby in any way or will I need some sort of intervention due to not being able to push properly?

    Please help, I'm worried for my baby's health, I'm so confused!

    Thank you xx :(

    I don't think that is bowel coming out but hemmoroids. A common ailment for pregnant and post natal women and accompanied by blood. We never seem to get over that part and it can come and go and doesn't really cause any problems, at least not for me.

    I don't think you will have to worry about the baby in a situation like this, but seeing as you will have to bear down a lot during labour, after having the baby, you may have a very tender rectum. Please don't go trying to diagnose yourself and getting upset thinking it is something terrible. Just make sure that your attending doctor and nurses know of the problems you have been having passing stool.

    Also, being pregnant causes constipation for some women. So it may be a good idea to take a very safe way to soften the stool so that #2 is not so difficult. My recommendation is Magnesium but not sure about taking it during pregnancy, is it safe?
