Weird blister like lumps?

Sorry might be tmi, but I was showering today and out of the blue I felt this blister like bump on my anus(butthole).. When I got out of the shower I tried to see what it was and noticed there's kind of a couple of them going around my anus. I've never had them before? I have a Dr appt to get tested for group b strep today and I'll have her take a look, but I just wanted to maybe get an idea of what it is? It doesn't hurt or anything and literally popped up like over night.

ugh.
that's my worst fear is getting them before labor lol.
I'm attempting VBAC with a midwife - and drug-free... I labored for 40+ hrs with my daughter - feeling EVERYTHING, and was induced after my little boys heart stopped at 16wks in September and labored with him for 6+hrs - feeling everything as well.
So I thinkkkkk I should be able to do it lol.
I try to lay down (on my side) as much as I can when I can feel them start to come.

Yep Dr said hemorrhoids. I'm 36 weeks and dilated so hopefully they go away before I pop or don't hurt during labor lol

Hemmroids are very common during pregnancy. Most likely that's what it is.

yeah.
its a hemorrhoid. they're usually on the outside/around your butthole. lol.
all the pressure from baby pushing down / gravity.
I found that cleaning the area gently after going to the bathroom, especially #2 (don't push!! wait until you're almost ready for it to come out so you don't have to strain) helped.
sleep on your side, and don't sit up-right at ALL if you can.

I would guess a hemorrhoid. I've had a few since I got pregnant. Mine were always on the outside. Mine weren't bad and were more uncomfortable/ itchy than painful.

That's what I thought but I read those are like in the lining of the intestine and painful? So I'm not sure. Just nervous lol
