What Could Be Partially Light Pink Diarrhea In 2 Months Old Pregnancy?

I am two months pregnant and i have had a cold for the last two weeks. I went to the bathroom about thirty minutes ago and had diarrhea and it was partially a light pink. I am not bleeding vaginally or having discharge and I am now concerned that I might be bleeding internally. Is this normal, or food related? I read that certain food dyes can effect your poop and I had some danimals yogurt that was pink an hour before. Should I go to the doctor as soon as possible or wait it out and see what happens the next time I have to use the restroom?

Hi,

If you passed a light pink stool only once, I'd suggest to wait and see if the same happens at the next bowel movement.

If you had danimals yogurt an hour before, that is not a reason to your pinkish stool as it would require more time for the stool to pass until you clear danimals yogurt.

To my opinion, you might be having hemorrhoids (internal) which might be causing such changes especially if you have faced constipation problems recently.

Another cause could be related to vitamins or other supplements you take for pregnancy.

All the best!
