Re: PREGNANCY: Pregnant and Rectal Bleeding

I'm still having the rectal bleeding and I have an appointment (finally)
with my OBGYN on Thursday. I tried the Preparation H and it didn't seem
to help a whole lot. It slowed the bleeding a little but there is a lot
of clotting. I'm wondering what kind of treatment can be done on a
pregnant woman? Is there a prescription based cream she may be able to
prescribe. I'm still not totally sure that it's internal hemorrhoids
though but if it is what kind of treatment can be done? Also how long
can it take for it to heal?
