Hemmerhoids 😞

Well, I feel like an idiot but I just discovered I have hemorrhoids (is it singular?? plural??). It’s my first time and I didn’t realize that’s what was happening. I felt some itching and been constipated on and off last few weeks, but didn’t put 2+2 together. Until I actually felt something today after wiping and 😞😞😞😞

Luckily I had an unopened container of Tucks wipes from my last pregnancy so I wiped with that.

Now - any other suggestions on how to make this go away?! It’s not painful just itchy. I read about not straining, sitting too long etc and adding more fiber to diet.

Any other pro tips for a 37 +5 pregnant woman who is freaking out a bit 🥹

Start taking stool softener. It won't make the hemorrhoids go away, but it will make trips to the bathroom easier - which makes you strain less potentially helping to not make them worse.

Try not to worry they are a normal thing that happens to tons of women during pregnancy or birth.
