Pregnant women experiencing rectal bleeding can generally alleviate symptoms by consuming more foods rich in dietary fiber. Rectal bleeding during pregnancy may be caused by hemorrhoids or constipation due to pregnancy. Eating more fiber-rich foods and drinking a glass of honey water upon waking in the morning can help moisten the intestines and reduce the likelihood of constipation.
