Get some Tucks, which are little cotton pads soaked in witch hazel.  You can often gently push the bulging vein back in.  Look up hemorrhoids on Wikipedia so you know what they look like when they protrude.  I had a friend who had so many that she said they were like a bunch of grapes.

Yes hemerroids are piles quite common in pregnancy drink a lot of fluid & eat fibre to loosen your bowels. Its constipation, straining a lot but usually goes away in time, if more bleeding & gets bigger after one week or so tell doctor & he will advise. Think can get some lubricants/hemerroid creams to ease the pain.
