A member asked:

10 weeks pregnant with a subchorionic hematoma. i pass hard stool and constipated. will that make me bleed or make my hematoma worse.

Some times: too much straining can cause disruption of placenta. so try to have soft bowel movements.

Shouldnt affect: It should not affect your daily motions or your pregnancy. You can take stool softeners to help with the constipation but constipation shouldnt impact your pregnancy.
