Hemroids??

By admin

im 18 weeks pregnant and i had a constipation problem in the beginning . since i was 12 weeks, ive been taking benefiber and that helps… i occasionally have constipation and then bleed. but only during those constipation days..b4 when i was 12 weeks, i went to the GI and she said it was most likely hemroids. and to try to get rid of the constipation. im just wondering if im bleeding from the constipation and hemriods or if it sounds like something else. i was constipated yesterday and bled alittle and then today i was pushing to pas gas and i bled..but this morning when i went to the bathroom i didnt bleed. i also think i got a fissure from pushing yesterday.. anyone have any thoughts? am i just being paranoid??

girl, i feel your pain. i'm almost 14 weeks and was terribly constipated and had awful hemorrhoids–my mom made emergency runs (no pun intended) to grab grape juice, benefiber, enemas, vaseline, stool softeners, a laxative, and preperation H–I swear by that stuff- not to be gross but you can get the tube that has the inter-anal inserter that actually squirts a bit of the medicine into the anus–you need to rub a bit on the outside and clean everything super-well afterwards, but the relief is awesome. ice works too. you might be taking the wrong prenatal too–ask ur doc to get you a prescription for a prenatal with a stool softerner in it like prima care one. i'm 100% regular now–just don't miss a day with the benefiber and make yourself go poo everyday or you will regret it. i really hope that helps!!
