i believe i have hemroids, and im 23 weeks pregnant. i have been having a little discomfort while having a bowel movement, and a week ago i had a little blood after. and then today i had the same thing and it was more than just a spot of blood…
i am also having a little cramping on the side of my groin… is that normal?
i did call my doct and he just gave my a name of a stool softener, and said to eat lots of fruit and bran cereal and drink alot of juice and water.
so how long does it take for them to go away?
is the cramping normal with them?
is there anything u did to relieve it?
please help… thx
oh… and if u had them during pregnancy, how far along were u??
Ahhhh…hemroids! One of the joys of pregnancy.
Use the stool softener, don’t strain when you have a bowel movement, and use preparation H to relieve the itch and Tucks for wiping after a bowel movement. A nice soak in the tub is soothing as well.
Lets see…how long does it take them to go away? Well, my 4th child is 24 now, and I’m STILL waiting for them to go away. It should be any day now!
