TMI maybe...but bleeding hemorrhoid?

BabyShirah

I'm almost 28 wks and have had my first hemorrhoid ever this weekend. I woke up this am and used the restroom and wiped and the hemorrhoid is bleeding!? It doesn't hurt or anything. Anybody else have this happen??

All the time, it should stop on its own.

@sassymama15 thank you!! I googled it first before I asked and it did say it was normal, but I wanted to get ppls experiences/opinions on here that have actually had it happen!!

Unfortunately I'm with her. Common for me too. They come and go as they please.

@xxyourstrulyxo glad to see it's not just me!! I'm 35 yrs old and have NEVER had one so when I seen blood, it def scared me!!! Mine doesn't hurt yet, thank God!!

Oh yeah, I had to go to the OB because mine was excruciating. It thrombosed, burst and then wouldn't heal. I got a sitz bath seat from Walgreens and some Epsom salts and a prescription for a topical steroid (much to my dismay) and it cleared it up. The dr. said we will be plagued by these hemorhhoids the entire pregnancy.

@twodreamers that's def nothing to look forward to!! Mine doesn't hurt YET, just aggravating to even know I have one!! I haven't used anything on mine so far and I'm hoping it doesn't come to that!!

@BabyShirah mine got aggravated when I was registry shopping and on my feet for 7 hours straight. I will not make that mistake again. I'm glad yours isn't painful - sorry we have to have them at all.

that happened to me a few weeks ago and i didnt know what was happening. so i called my mom. she told me it was probably a hemorrhoid... it never did hurt but i bled a lot. then it went away and havent had any problems since. its scary anytime you bleed and arnt sure why!

BabyShirah

@twodreamers I cheated and done all my registering online!! If I were on my feet 7 hours straight, my feet would be about to bust!!! @mrswynn2014 I lost my mama when I was 27 (almost 8 yrs ago) and I'm a FTM, but Lord how I wish she was around now for that advice she'd always give!! My daddy tries to help, bless his heart, but I'm def bt asking him about a hemorrhoid!! LOL!!!

I am just so use to it I am not bothered by it anymore. Just to warn you they can and usually do get worse after childbirth...for obvious reasons...but they will go away. I tried hemmorrhoid cream but honestly and this may be TMI but the slipperiness in my behind was more uncomfortable than the hemmorrhoid itself. So wasn't worth it for me.

BabyShirah

@sassymama15 yeh I don't think I'd like feeling like I didn't wipe good!! Lol!! Do they flare up even yrs after childbirth?!?

Every time I'm lucky enough to poop.

Invest in some tucks pads. After you give birth they feel especially good straight out of the fridge.
