Re: 31 Weeks Pregnant and Have HemorroidsFrom: Christopher (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 22 Mar 1999 10:55:24 -0500

I called my OB and described this and he told >me it was hemorroids. > >I did not have hemorroids in my first pregnancy, but I was told that I >had developed a small hemorroid from pushing out the baby. I never >particularly noticed it, but then, the area was swollen and tender in >general down there after giving birth (although no episiotomy). > >Now I dread going to the bathroom and taking a shower. I can't stand >touching the area. And I am so afraid that this will not go away before >I have to push out another baby. > >Any advice would be appreciated. Increase your fiber, drink lots of fluids, don't strain when you have a BM, wash the area thouroughly but gently-maybe buy yourself some of those flushable baby wipes and get some witch-hazel soaked pads(check your pharmacy). The pads will soothe the area. I would have DIED if I didn't have those after #2 was born. Karen
