Blood on Tissue During Pregnancy

My wife is 7 months pregnant she used the facilities in middle of the night and while wiping herself she noticed a tiny drop of blood on tissue, she razor shaved in that area the night before and a rash developed. Is there any concern regarding her tahara? Thank you

Answer:

This will not give her niddah status.

Sources:

Many authorities rule that a small stain [less than a penny] on toilet paper after wiping will not render a woman a niddah, as the toilet paper is not mekabel tumah and the stain is less than the shiur tumah. In addition, here we may assume that the blood came from her shaving irritation.
