TMI kinda, but I need a little help ladies....

First, I know this is normal but I think the hemroids have struck. After my bowl movements I have noticed blood when I wipe.(not just a smear, but a little more than a quarter size spot)  I know its not from my vag so I am not worried.  But I didnt have this issue with ds so I am not totally sure what I can use on my behind because to be honest it hurts lol. I did a little feeling around down there and they are not on the outside (well at least I think--never had them before).

Can someone point me in the right direction about easing them a bit?

aren't those pad thingies soaked in whatever that we use after labor also for hemmies? Sorry if you have no clue what I'm talking about but I can't for the life of me remember what they're called right now! They gave them to me in the hospital...

Otherwise, colace for now. And start adding some Benefiber to your water every morning. Works wonders!

I do want to add that I am not constipated at the present moment and my bms have been pretty soft.

This made me laugh Where else are you going to find women sharing such candid information? 

And I will add that I am jealous of your bms. I am backed up like the line for a picture with Santa three days before Christmas. It sucks.

I use vagisil.

Tucks pads, straight witch hazel, sitz baths, and not wiping too hard REALLY helped me. I was like you and was not backed up but still got them. Lucky for me, they only lasted a couple of weeks. But my mom tells me they will probably come back after delivery,,,GL to you!

could be internal hemorrhoids, could also be anal fissures.  I deal with both, and have been since I was a teenager. It comes and goes. Usually it gets started by a really large and dry BM (I deal with constipation too, lucky me), but it can also happen when soft.  Bright red blood, sometimes it will drip in the bowl, sometimes I only notice it on the TP.

Definitely get it checked out by your doctor though, it could be several things.
