A pain in the butt!

Is anyone dealing with hemmorhoids or have dealt with them in a previous pregnancy? And if I have them now at 20 weeks, is there a chance they'll go away, or am I stuck with them until November? Any suggestions on relief? Me and my tush thank you!

Re: A pain in the butt!

  • I have them and I can't even sit right now they are so bad. They can go away. Once you're farther along, no. With DD I was a week late and had them the whole time. I asked my doctor about it and she said there is nothing I can do but have the baby. I've been using preparation H but that still isn't helping. The doctor has this foam like thing they can do to help. Maybe ask for that if the preparation h isn't helping.

  • I have them too. They came and went in first tri, but seem to be here to stay now.

  • Oh no! I've had them before, but I can't imagine dealing with them until November. This is a whole new level of pain. Definitely will be asking the doctor for some help during my next appointment.
  • Yup same thing with me. So glamorous lol. I read that witch hazel can help. I plan to ask about remedies at my appointment next week.

    I have them - they never went away after DS.  Doing Kegels is supposed to help prevent them/lessen them.  Other than that Prep H, Tucks, and other witch hazel products.
