You can use tucks and preparation h both are completely fine during pregnancy ... I have them and my doc okayed both.

You should call you doctor and ask for recommendations. With pregnancy as a factor, you have to be extra careful with medications, because seemingly mild and harmless medications normally can cause bad reactions in pregnancy. It's best to talk to your doctor. In the mean time, try to avoid constipation and straining, which will worsen hemorrhoids. Also, try not to spend too much time sitting in one position as that will cause the hemorrhoids to engorge with blood and increase your discomfort. Also maintain a high fiber diet to avoid constipation.
Tucks pads (witch hazel) will likely be what your doctor suggests, but they need to be the ones to make that call and have it on your record that you are using those to treat the hemorrhoids.

Oh yes. You can use both the wipes and creams. Preperation H. Can also buy aveeno oatmeal bath and soak for a bit. Help sooth them. Dr even said I could use ice packs but that was kinda uncomfy for me lol. Hope it helps
