hemorrhoids!

[babymama1985]

Ugh so another wonderful symptom of pregnancy lol hemorrhoids. Anyone know of maybe something natural that helps with the soreness?

[babymama1985]

Ugh I've had them before but not this bad and the crazy thing is it doesn't hurt when I go poo lol just when I stand sit lay down...move st all lol I will try the prep h pads and of that doesn't work then I will try the vicks remedy.

Consider yourself lucky to never have had one!

Oh, ouch!! I have been constipated basically my whole life and of course pregnancy! Dang that *****!

[mrssandefur]

And, kinda gross, but if you touch it you can feel it if its on the outside, it'll be swollen or have a piece of skin that is swollen that sorta hangs. It can be a rip in your rectum or a broken blood vessel.

[mrssandefur]

Its like a sharp pain on or in your rectum, it usually hurts to sit, walk lay down and have a bowel movement and many people even bleed a little when they have a bowel movement. Its generally caused by constipation. Its awful!

[Lexyd]

I've never even had that even after birthing two babies, what do they feel like? Or how do you know what they are?

[mrssandefur]

I honestly think it's the worst part of pregnancy, it seems everything else you can at least make yourself comfortable with but there's no comfort with that ESP when you have a bad one. It even hurt me to lay down :(

[mrssandefur]

Oh I know! None of the other stuff worked. My MIL had these suppositories that were supposed to numb it, they were an RX she had cause she got one inside of her rectum and I tried a few and it didn't even phase me. I asked my nurse if she had anything else she could RX for me and she told me that. I used it for like a week straight and it's worked awesome! I mean it shrunk up a lot. Its still there a little bit hut it doesn't bother.me. I know after I have the baby I'll get the same problem (I did with my first two so I'll be surprised if I don't with this one) so I know I'm not done lol.

Lol yeah I just recently had one as well so I know the feeling and the prep.-h pads work wonders for me.!

[babymama1985]

Great. I can.deal with nausea insomnia.aches pains crazy hormones but this I can't do....lol this I need a little relief from lol

[rachb11]

You can use the preperation-h pads for them. You just wipe with them while your clean. They always work for me. Makes it feel so much better.

[mrssandefur]

I think its the mentholatum that helps it shrink. It only burned the first time I used it and only for a few minutes. It wasn't horrible and.I noticed results in just minutes.

I was googling this the other day and I found a quite a few websites that have pretty good ideas on the subject.

http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oG7iQr869PLXsA7HFXNyoA?ei=UTF-8&fr=crmas&p=how+to+get+rid+of+hemorrhoids+naturally&SpellState=&fr2=sp-qrw-corr-top

I didn't feel like posting all the websites so I just gave you the search results lol. The first 5 seemed pretty good.

[babymama1985]

I've used tucks before too. They worked pretty good but kinda burned too. Does the vapor rub numb it? Im.gonna go get those tucks wipes and see if they are still effective. If not I will try the vicks vapor rub.

[mrssandefur]

It burned a little at first but of course I had also used Tucks wipes that have witch hazel in them. I heard witch hazel works, the Tucks wipes don't work for.me though.

[mrssandefur]

My nurse told me to get a jar of Vic's vapor rub, put it on some gauze and put it right on the hemorrhoids. Of course wash and pat it dry first.

[babymama1985]

Ok I will def try that. Ugh this is miserable lol

[farO_jan]

I've read sitting in warm water helps. I tried it and it worked for me.
