Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

During pregnancy, the muscle contractions that normally move food through your intestines slow down because of higher levels of the hormone progesterone. Also the extra iron you're getting from Iron supplements can cause constipation and gas. The round sores around anus must be hemorrhoids that occurred due to severe constipation.
Increase your fiber intake and drink extra fluids to keep things moving more smoothly. Physical activity can also help.

As constipation is really bothering you, talk to your doctor about mild laxative or stool softeners to use during pregnancy.

Hope this information helps
