Hi there,  please try not to worry too much,  after the birth of my second daughter I was diagnosed with haemorrhoids due to pushing her out.   If it's bright red blood it's usually from a vein which is what happens when you push as it enlarges the veins and they split and bleed.   By all means have it checked out to put your mind at rest,  they can see if you have them and after a birth we worry about our own health as well because we are already a little fragile.   Let us know how you get on but please don't Google because it will always give you the worst case scenario.   You'll soon find out once you call your GP.   All the best and congratulations on the new baby.   Carol x
