Sign #10: Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are veins located in your rectum and are an important part of the venous return of that specific part of our bodies. During certain conditions, these veins can become swollen, causing pain during defecation or even rectal bleeding.
During pregnancy, the pressure within the abdominal cavity increases due to the fact that a baby is growing in it. This increased pressure can cause the hemorrhoidal veins to swell and cause symptoms.
