Question

Well besides the fact that I am getting very sick of being pregnant, and miserable, uncomfortable, can't breathe, my hips and ribs are killing me, I have now developed the dreaded hemroids. I have never had them before, even with my pregnany with my son. Is there anything i can do to help? This is going to be my last week at work, and I am hoping I can make it through. I just started having the discomfort yesterday.

Sorry if it is TMI.

Oh yeah I will be 32 weeks Tuesday. So I have a feeling I have a ways to go with dealing with this.

I had to use Tucks pads also a sitz bath helped too. Also, maybe once you stop working, try to stay off your feet. I hope you can try to find some comfort...which I know is a joke right now and hemmorhoids don't help! :lol:

 

Oh I do hope they are gone for you soon. I agree with trying the tucks pads. Hang in there, before you know it all the pregnancy stuff will be over with and you will have your babies

Aww, I can empathize. I had a mild case of them myself that turned into fullblown hemorrhoid **** earlier today. I spent most of the afternoon sobbing my eyes out because I had the most traumatic bathroom experience of my life.

Sitz baths help. Tremendously.

And use baby wipes instead of regular toilet paper.

 

Definately some stool softners!!
Witch hazel is what is in the Tucks pads. You can usually find it by the bottle in the beauty section of the store, use some on cotton or put it on a pad and place where it hurts.
Increase your water intake as well as review your diet and see if something is hurting more than helping.

 

I have them too-I dont know if you just get used to them or what but mine are still there but dont really bother me anymore.
They hurt so bad when they first popped up-I do agree with using baby wipes instead of toilet paper and prep H cream, I also sat on ice packs for a while. I hope you get relief soon!

 

ouch im sorry; i had those too wtih my sons-warm baths; tucks pads- i use baby wipes or kids wipes too and its less harsh on your sore tushy; it sucks but they will go away after u have the babies its another wonderful thing about being a preggo

April, I got one whopper of one with my 1st pregnancy - and the only thing that worked was actually tucking a tucks in the area and leaving it there until you go potty again. Usually the pad will just drop out and into the toilet. This way it wasn't irritated but got the benefit of the pad until it came out and was time to place another one there. HTH

 

I would do all of the above and take colace so when you have to go to the bathroom, it may be less painful until they heal. I got them after my first delivery and I feel for you!!
