hemorrhoids during pregnancy

Any mummies experience having hemorrhoids during pregnancy? How do you deal with it? Will it heal by itself?

Yes, i am experiencing it but this isn’t new to me. I had it even before pregnancy so i got used to the discomfort. Even if you went to see a specialist, you cannot do much about it except to apply gel which doesn’t really work for me. What worked though was drinking kombucha to ensure i had probiotics for a better digestive system so I won’t strain and end up with hemorrhoids repeatedly.

Hemorrhoids are common during pregnancy and the postpartum period. In most cases, if its developed during pregnancy will go away on their own soon after you give birth, especially if you're careful to avoid constipation. Avoid sitting for long periods.Use Tucks Medicated Pads

Yes. But it hasnt reach a point where i couldnt bear with the pain. So i will just be mindful when answering the nature's call. And eat more fruits. It does come out from time to time, but i will try to tuck it back in slowly..

Me too! I used a GP approved cream and added more water and fibre in diet. Eating a banana just before sleeping also helped

Yes common. You can ask your gynae for soMe cream. In the meantime do eat more fruits and veggies!

Hi, I would suggest consult your gynae. They will give you cream etc. to help

I just got it like this morning! Now pooping is quite painful for me :(

Apparently you can push the hemorrhoid back in. Makes sitting less painful but hopefully the hemorrhoid can shrink after a few days.

The pain will go away, but it will still be there thou

Me too. It just disappear after giving birth

I didn't. Take care!!
