Mystery butt pains

[Starlight32]

Tmi. Today I have weird pains in my butt. I don't know how to describe it. Sore? Its more noticeable when I'm walking about. I would think constipation but I've recently have a bm today. What could this be?

It could possibly be internal hemorrhoids. I had them almost my entire last pregnancy and I'm starting to get them again. I'd ask your doctor about it and see if that's a possibility, and if so if you could get some cream or meds for them. They won't completely go away but it'll be less irritating.

Thanks! I'm not feeling it today (well not yet)!

... so is the pain near the 'bunghole' or is it further up, like maybe in the intestines? If it's the former then the previous poster probably has a good suggestion. If it's the latter then could be some kind of pregnancy related cramping? I had this last night (after a bit of activity), for about 15 minutes. I used to get it in my other pregnancies more in my 3rd tri, especially when trying for a bm (very sharp pains up there - not pleasant)! But pretty sure it was not constipation. It wasn't "that kind" of pain.

I guess I don't know :-/

Ooh I've had those "lightning" pains as well, like further up in that area. So hard to describe it without being gross lol. But it's like a quick, sharp jolt almost. I have those even not pregnant, and my DF has them as well. Is that what you mean?

It was more like a soreness. I haven't felt it again.... Now I'm dealing with bm problems though.
