Hemrroids and constipation

[marchintothesea]

Okay I know this maybe tmi but in desperate for advice. Hopefully someone has been there. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and for the past three weeks I have had hemmorids and irregular. I have always been irregular with bowel movements (1 every 10 days was normal). I had been using tucks pads for over a week and then started using suppository prep h for hemmoroids. I also used the other ones for constipation and nothing a little but not enough to have relief or consider it a movement. I broke down and bought a fiber supplement and it has been two hours and nothing no cramps or anything. I have an appointment Tuesday and am trying my best to be patient and wait it out. Please if you have any experience advice please help! Thank you.

I have had it terrible! There were 2 times i was going to go to the hospitol because it was stuck. Being constipated can be worse then labor! My doc put me on miralax. Stuff works perfect! Totally safe for the baby. It sits in ur stomach and doesnt cross through ur blood,  so baby doesnt see any of it! Good luck! Im 37 weeks and if i miss a day of miralax, im in trouble

1-sadly nothing can be done about the hemmroid...you can try a nice hot bath...that should sooth the veins in them and help any swelling in them go down..

you CAN use those liquid FLEET laxatives...those will FORCE you to poop with in like 2-5 minutes...usually with in like 45 seconds.....you have to put the tube in your butt and squeeze the stuff into your butt from the whole bottle...your belly will hurt like hell, but its your intestines forcing you to poop and itll come out like diareah...you can take those while pregnant....but just stick to ONE a week if needed...
