Piles are quite common during pregnancy unfortunately which is probably causing the bleeding. Constipation which is also common causes straining which makes the piles worse.

You can get stool softeners like fybogel so it’s easier to pass, and haemorrhoid cream from the pharmacy or in the medicine section of supermarkets. Drinking lots of water might help too.

If that doesn’t work, or if you have concerns that the blood is from somewhere other than your bottom you should probably see your GP. Hope that helps x
