Hemmorhoids during pregnancy Posted: 03-14-08 13:22pm
Hi i'm back using ehealth as i'm nearly 9
months pregnant with my second baby only a
year after my first daughter Raven was
born..I have two swollen piles coming out
of my bottom and they are very painfull
and make me bleed sometimes when going to
the toilet.My problem is this....not only
am i absolutly terrified to give birth
this time around (family say thats because
i now know what to expect),as i had a
terrible Episiotomy which burst open and
had to be re-stitched and then got
infected,i was in agony for weeks...but
I'm also scared to death of while I'm
pushing out baby number two in about
2weeks time I'm obviously going to make
the piles worse with all the strain of
pushing..Bassically i'm scared to have a
bunch of grapes hanging out of my
backside. The doctors and midwifes don't
seem bothered much to try and help me and
ive tried all the creams and pessaries
under the sun...salt baths...ice
packs..ect. I'm so unhappy i cry all the
time and i really am down and depressed.I
dont know what to do.Please any advice
(without people being sarcastic) would be
greatly apreciated.Thankyou,JadeXX

Sorry, I tried to reply the other day and
it wouldn't respond.
I had hemorroids with my daughter and it
was awful. I feel for you. I'm sorry your
doctor and nurse aren't taking your
complaints seriously. This is a very
painful condition.
I don't have any help to offer, other than
a donut. There are inflatable donut
pillows you can sit on that can lessen the
pressure on your anus and provide some
relief. Also fiber and not straining when
you go to the bathroom.

Do get one of those donut pillows like she
suggested. They are really weird but they
help with the pain. Keep a lot of fiber
in your diet. Constipation is a normal
condition in pregnancy, but you can drink
prune juice and as much as you want to
help it along.
Don't worry about what the doc's see or
think: they've seen everything. I know
it's embarrassing no matter what to you (I
can never get over just having my legs
bared when I have a baby, let a lone being
stripped naked and having my clothes cut
off me once either), but they really don't
care. They see a patient who needs help
and they wouldn't have become doctors or
stayed doctors if they cared about stuff
like that.
If you get another tear or episiotomy, get
one of those tubs of TUX and use them
every time you use the bathroom. They
will help the site to heal faster,
minimize the possibility of tearing, and
keep you infection free.
