If it's from your anus it is most likely a ruptured hemorrhoid. This happens and can be a little painful. If the blood is from your vagina,  you should call. Since pregnancy brings on constipation,  some strain on the bowels is expected (and necessary if you're not taking a stool softener) as laxatives are not recommended during pregnancy.

If you actually had a productive bm after the straining then it maybe from hemroids and not from your va jj. It happens to me sometimes
