So I was thinking I may be lucky and not get hemorrhoids. Today (at exactly 24 wks) I woke up and my behind hurts. And I'm pretty sure I'm experiencing hemorrhoids.
I've had them once before preg when I was taking pain meds, which caused constipation, for my back and they sucked!
Any recommendations for best treatments or what to do to prevent in future?!
Re: Hemorrhoids Happen!
Preparation H ointment according to directions
Preparation H wipes
Lots of fiber
Doing kegels (I read it increases blood flow to the area, which helps)
Sitz bath
Hope you are able to get some relief. Definitely my least favorite late pregnancy symptom! :-(
