heads up for hemorrhoids

Hey ladies I'm 33 weeks and had my first happening with hemorrhoids. I did a little research and found that witch hazel is suppose to help them. I soaked two cotton pads and placed them down there. (Mine are not broken open) but let me tell ya the relief is ahhhmazing! Hope this helps!

I take back my previous statement. I had witch hazel covered cotton pads on again today and my hemorrhoids are already gone. Even had a bowl movement with no issues.

I slept with the which hazel all last night. It didn't make it go down but it did help with the pain. Ask your doctor first but on my list of medicine I can use for them is Preparation H which is suppose to help with the size.

Ugh I just got my first one at 36 weeks, now 37 weeks I really hope it's gone by the time I go into labor! Does the witch hazel help to make it go away any faster or just relief?
