Hemorrhoids, how I hate you!

What a gut wrenching experience this morning!

Get to work, go to the bathroom (#2). and go on my merry way.
About an hour later I have to go pee. I noticed a bit of spotting when I wiped but nothing concerning. About another hour later (plus 2 waters) I go pee again and I am significantly bleeding.
I have delt with 3 previous miscarriages, so panick mode sets in and I just start crying like an emotional nut job! Co-worker ends up calling DH, we go to hospital preping for the worst.
We find out I have internal and external hemorrhoids and I burst a big one when I went poop. Who knew!

DH is so embarressed that we panicked so much all over hemorrhoids!
I am just left wanting to bury my head in a pillow for the next 9ish weeks.
Pregnancy.... you are really sucking right now! lol

Awww, I'm sorry you had to have such an awful experience just to find out you have hemmorhoids.... Ugh...

Bright Side??? At least they aren't painful or bothering you since you didn't know you had them....?

Glad it was nothing with the baby! Don't beat yourself up you aren't the first or the last they will see for the same thing. i can't believe you didn't have any pain!

Ugh, that sucks! Hemorrhoids are currently the freaking bane of my existence, so I am feeling your pain.

It's funny because I just said to DH "if only I had sat down on a properly chair I would have known right away it was hemorrhoids!"
I run a store so am on my feet all day. Never sat down except on the toilet.
Now that there is pressure from a chair on my bum I can for sure feel them!

Ditto.

Glad you're okay!  That's so scary.  I never used to worry about anything before I got pregnant... some of those mommy hormones are certainly whacking me out now, though.  Even with my rational mind working, blood would still freak me out.

At least you're not dealing with any pain from them! I've struggled the most with this horrible side effect. I actually had to take 2 days off work because I was in so much pain I couldn't stand or be on my feet more than a minute. Don't remember the last time I cried so much; told my husband if I can survive this, I can definitely survive healing from childbirth. 

Sitting in a warm bath, using wet wipes/toilet paper, and using ice packs helped relieve the swelling and I'm back on my feet again. Hang in there ladies, the end is almost here...
