TMI - vaginal bleeding with constipation

Has anyone ever experienced a small fresh red bleed following a bowel movement after constipation? I’m on 3 cyclogest a day which I’m using rectally and they’re really blocking me up! I hadn’t been for at least 4 days and then when I did go I had some sharp abdo pain as I went, about 2 hours later I had this bleed (definitely vaginally) and wondered if it could be linked? Bleeding never came to more than that and was only as I wiped for about 6 hours before turning brown.

Hiding my pregnancy tips

I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant and I’m only getting bigger by the week and my home environment isn’t the best because of two people who are constantly saying things behind my back and escalating things are not making me feel safe enough to express my pregnancy.
With that being said, for anyone who had to hide their pregnancy until they felt safe enough to show it to the world what did you do to hide it or protect your peace?

Have you had this experience ?

I had my anatomy scan last week and baby looks great! 🥹 Everything looked normal, which was such a relief. When I reviewed the official report afterward, I noticed a diagnosis code that said “Supervision of high risk pregnancy,” and of course that made me a little nervous.

I messaged my doctor about it, and she explained that technically I’m labeled “high risk” because of my starting pregnancy weight (206 lbs), but she reassured me it’s not something they’re actually concerned about in my case. She emphasized that everything looked great on the ultrasound, baby is healthy, and I’m doing amazing so far.

That definitely made me feel a lot better, but I’m curious—has anyone else been told they’re technically high risk just based on weight around 200 lbs? 🥴

Post partum body pain

Was anyone else's body just destroyed after pregnancy? In a physical sense, not just worried about how it looks.

I am just in pain pretty much all over, I have shooting pains in my feet and ankles, I have what seems to be plantar fascitis and all sorts of foot issues causing me pain but my legs hurt up to my knees most days. I have awful back pain and shooting pains in my pelvis which I wake up with every morning. I'm also exhausted pretty much all of the time.

I used to gym 5/6 days per week lifting weights and now I feel like I can't even climb the stairs most days.

I just want to get back to living my life, not feeling crippled. Has anyone had the same?
