I am 17 weeks pregnant and when I go to the bathroom, there is blood on the toilet paper. I have no pain or external wounds.

It seems like you may have a fissure caused by constipation. It is recommended to use a zinc cream to help heal the fissure, applying it twice a day and after each bowel movement. To address the constipation, you could try taking a stool softener like Lax-A-Day once a day, which is safe during pregnancy. This may help prevent further fissures and aid in the healing of the current one.
