I developed the most annoying, excruciatingly painful hemorrhoid! Nothing helps with the swelling. I'm 37+5 and have read this is common late in pregnancy. I've tried everything. Prep h, tucks, baths 3 times a day. I'm practically living on tylenol. Anyone have any other suggestions for relief? I am hoping labor comes soon cause this is just downright unbearable! :(

Id ask your doctor, I can definitely understsnd you want it cleared before labor! Ouchies :(
if you can't get into see you doctor ask the pharmacist what else they recommend you try.
I hope its cleared up very soon!

I have definitely upped my water intake. I have been using Colace throughout my pregnancy, but I swear this thing just popped up outta no where. And it's decided it's going to stay lol. I'm already afraid of it being there during delivery! The only complete relief is a warm bath, too bad I can't work in the bathtub. Thanks for your advice. I'll give more fruits and veggies a try!

When I have gotten them in the past, I had to drink extra water, eat even more fruits and veggies. And stay clear of anything that would make my need to push my bowl movements. Maybe ask dr if it's ok for a stool softener. I'm sorry you're going through this!!
