At two months of pregnancy, blood may appear on toilet paper after urination. Possible causes of hematuria (blood in urine) at this stage include: - Urinary tract infection (UTI) - Urinary tract stones: During pregnancy, hormonal changes may promote stone formation in the urinary system. Stones can irritate the urethra and bladder, leading to blood in the urine, often accompanied by flank or abdominal pain, urgency, and dysuria. Regardless of the underlying cause, any hematuria during pregnancy warrants prompt medical evaluation. A healthcare provider will perform appropriate diagnostic tests and recommend suitable management based on the individual clinical situation.
