Does anyone have/had these in pregnancy? I have heard it’s very common esp in pregnancy and have never had them until this week. I have been using a cream and doing soaks in the bath but how long do they take to go away?

They will just settle down on their own, it’s from all the pressure unfortunately 😫 will probably get worse during labour but will settle afterwards, you can always ask the midwife to check for you at your appointment after birth x

My last pregnancy I suffered and got prescribed something called sheriproct from the gp and it was a life saver before and after birth!

Oh god it's so terrible. I had to be religious about creams and such and then one lingered after pregnancy was over and I called my GP near tears and it had turned into an anal fissure! So if it's like agonising pain maybe double check it's not that, it was so bad.
