Hemmroid relief??

I've been having bad hemmroids with this pregnancy now that I'm nearing the end. Any remedies I can try to alleviate This pain?? They've been bleeding pretty bad as well.

I had them and heard about Vicks Vapor rub. I was skeptic about it first but was desperate. My husband put it on there before I went to bed and it went away in a day! The stuff works wonders! Hope this helps!

Thank you all! I think I'll ask my doc for a script as well as something over the counter. I don't seem constipated, but I heard this is a very common problem.

The key is to stay well hydrated and LOTS of fiber to keep your stool soft as possible. That way your not straining and it comes out smoothly. Also, Preparation H is safe to use and will help alleviate them. Epsom salt baths help swelling too. Take care

Mine haven't been as bad as I've read they can get but I've been using aloe vera straight from the plant which has been amazing

I'm 22weeks and have been having the same issue. My Dr gave me anal meds my husband pit in my butt every night for a week. After those treatments and using a mild laxative I haven't had anymore problems. One of the key problems is pushing to hard when using the toilet. So be sure to get a safe laxative. Hope this helps
