hemorrhoids! ?

I'm 20 weeks and I'm going crazy I think I have hemorrhoids. I bleed when I go to the bathroom. And it itches like crazy. It's anybody else dealing with this?? Has your doctor given you anything?

I have had hemmorhoids since before I got pregnant. My doctor told me to eat fruits and vegetables as well as drink a lot
of water.  I also took the costco fiber gummies (which I reccomend for when you are no longer pregnant). Now bekng pregnant the nurse said to take metamucil to help. I have also used cream and that has helped too. Sorry if this is TMI! Good luck!

Hi I am 28 weeks and yes these are very common. You can get cream to apply to the effected area which will ease the pain and itching..its a horrible thing to have and heightens a fear of passing poops x
