Same situation over here. Preperation H is great to help minimize them. You should try adding stool softners daily. I use Colace. When I take my prenatal vitamin I take 1 Colace capsule too. Straining during BM can make them worse. Increase fiber in any way you can it helps & drink as much water as you can stand. Hope you get relief soon.

I have had this issue since my secod trimester and its gotten worse now that I am 30 wks. I had xalled an er doc once because it had gotten so bad that I was heavily bleeding after every bowel movement. So I was told to feel out the hemhorroids and gently try to push it back in with the help of a lubricant.  The process was a bit painful but it was instantaneous relief when I was able to push it in. Then I was told to immediately go and lay down for a couple of hours while keepinh my hips and butt elevated to prevent gravity from pulling it back out. I gotta say that works everytime for me it terms of relieving me of that excruciating pain. After that I can walk.. sit whatever but still feel sore.  Keep a lot of water in ur diet... alot.. I hope this helps.. good luck!

I feel ypur pain. I am pregnant with my 4th and I have never had them worse than with this pregnancy. Mine originally was from giving birth and has popped up every now and then since.
The kicker is the reason mine was made worse by a cough I got from being sick two weeks ago not from constipation. I have tried Prep H, witch hazel, sitz bath, and hydrocortizone cream. So far nothing has helped. Hurts to walk or sit. Dr. appt Thurs. I will be bringing it up.

Increase fiber and drink lots of fluids to prevent constipation, which should prevent hemroids. When I get them, I use prep H which shrinks them pretty quickly for me

I have had problems with them this pregnancy, it's my 3rd. I had to use witch hazel wipes after every bm to keep it clean. Also I read that wiping irritates it more if it's on the outside, so try to dab or pat carefully. Use wipes instead if toilet paper bc it takes less to clean u up that way. And keep the area dry. Also preparation h is a numbing agent I guess, so that will help temporarily with pain but you can only use it for a few days in a row, which should be all you need it for. Also drink lots of water and do not strain when you have to go.
