Ouch...please help (and vent)

I've been worried about the post BM, but no baby yet and my hemorrhoids are horrible.  Good thing everyone just thinks I'm waddling.  I really wish this could be a pre-labor sign, but pretty sure it's not.  This makes me worry even more about issues I'll have post baby (I also have IBS which tends to cause a lot of diarrhea and constipation).  I was hoping to talk DH into having sex with hopes of helping move things along, but now I don't think I can do it either.  DH is freaked out about having sex so "close" to her. 

I'm using Witch Hazel and Prep H Max Strength Cream (which is very difficult given I can barely reach my a$$), but is there anything else I can do?  I plan to ask my doctor also on Monday.

    Apple juice works great.  You can take Colace or Dulcolax if needed as well.

    Miralax - I've taken it all through pregnancy and plan on doing so for the first couple of weeks post-birth to make things easier.

    Mineral oil works too.  Doesn't taste the greatest but helps "grease" things up so they come out better.  Papaya enzymes help and are available at the heath food store.  Stool softeners were my friend after I had shoulder surgery and got stopped up due to the pain meds I was taking.

    I have IBS and I'm lactose intolerant.  If I need to go I can simply eat some ice cream and I'll be in the bathroom shortly there after.  Coffee works even faster (it's a natural laxitive) for me.  I can't remember the last time I had a cup of coffee...  I think the reason why I don't have hemorrhoids is because of my IBS--it keeps me loose and regular so no straining for me.

    Colace and Raisin Bran (or any kind of bran flakes).

    I'm right there with you! Those suckers HURT! The only thing that's brought me relief is those Preparation H medicated wipes. Sorry if this is TMI, but instead of using toilet paper, i use baby wipes (sooo much softer !!!! ), then wipe with a Pep' H wipe to finally take one of those, fold it and "tuck" it right on the 'Roid. Pull panties back on. Voila, almost instant relief! 
    I don't know what i'd do without those wipes!
