new post » see more posts »

I am 35 weeks pregnant and all of a sudden have terrible hemmorhoids. Nevere had them in alst rpegnancy (had a c-section). What can I do to make them go away? I actually ahve not eben terrible constipated, so it must be from the weight of the uterus and other factors? I've tried cold compresses, anything else? Am I doomed to have these for the rest of the pregnancy? trying for a VBAC and read if these get too big I might not be able to have a vaginal birth? And just totally grossed out by them as well....

  - Sitz baths make a big difference, prep-H wipes too - I doubt you can do it before db comes, but accupuncture was really helpful for me.

- Prep H- and I wouldn't necessarily say they'll be with you until birth- you shouldn't just ignore them, treat them with OB's advice-

- kegel! you may have to do a lot per day to see results...a few hundred at least. try the type where you gradually contract and release too.

  - OP- thanks! You know I was doing these a lot more in my last pregnancy, maybe that's why I didn't have this issue! Also going to try the sitz bath, continue with cold compresses, adn add prep H pads and just try to lay on my side versus sit when I'm at home- ugh, these are awful! Kept me awake one night A LOT!
