Anyone else suffering?  What helps?

I have never had hemorrhoid problems or  heartburn before being pregnant... ah the joys of pregnancy!

    Tucks pads, Preparation H, ice packs (IDK if I actually have hemorrhoids or just swelling)

    I feel kind of swollen back there after I go to the bathroom, but it's not painful. I actually have more swelling and pain in my crotch than I do in the back end.

    I've been so annoyed that I'm suffering with this!  And quite the contrary to others, I've actually been having more stomach issues and going more often (no straining).  My mid-wife told me just being pregnant can simply make you have hemorrhoids, whether you are constipated or not.  I just hope it goes away after pregnancy!  For right now, I've been using prep-H.

    I have one, but it's not bothering me at all. Therefore, I am pretending it's not there! :)

    This. Things loosened up for me (a LOT) around the middle of the second trimester, so straining is not an issue. Still, I have one gross little hemmorhoid. It's just from the extra weight and pressure. It hurt when it first popped out but I bought some tucks cream to put on it and now it doesn't bother me.

    I had REALLY bad hemorrhoids a couple of weeks ago. Witch Hazel on a cotton ball on the area followed by prep H. In the bathtub, apply a lot of pressure to the area. It hurt like h-e-double hockey sticks but I did this 3-4 times a day and they cleared up within a week. 

    Good luck.
