What should i do?!?

Make an appointment with your OB/GYN as soon as possible. It's not an emergency, but the earlier it can get fixed the better. Often women with these will have fecal incontinence as well, or rectal bleeding. Pregnancy can cause these, usually in the case of a very long labor and pushing stage.

Best thing to do is get it checked out by your OB, since they can do the repair as well.
