Feeling bad for so long has to be exhausting. :/ I was fortunate enough to get hemorrhoids in the second trimester, so I know how horrible those are! There was a point they hurt so bad when I changed positions at night that I didn't know whether I was going to throw up or cry! And I haven't even given birth yet :( Have you tried prep H or soaking in a warm bath (if you can find the time) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-104223 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:42:30 +0000 Rock n Roll 104223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just want to let you know that I had a really rough recovery as well, and that it WILL get better. I think it wasn't until 5 months postpartum that I stopped having regular pain (and honestly I would still have occasional stinging and the resurgence of the hemmies as various times for the first year.) I was so upset and felt broken and spent a lot of time worrying that it would never get better and crying about it, but I did. It just took time. My only real advice is to eat a TON of fruits and veggies to help ease the pain of going to the bathroom. And keep looking forward to the future, because it WILL get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-104100 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:47:14 +0000 BananaPancakes 104100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: I am so sorry you're still feeling yucky! I just wanted to pop in with some random hemmorroid advice, though. I'm not sure how much it will help, but I've been dealing with varicose veins of the groin/vagina since around 30 weeks (hemmorroids are just varicose veins of the booty), and have found the best way to control the pain has been through</p> <p>a.) soaking large cotton pads with 100% witch hazel twice a day and laying one on the area for a good 10 minutes.<br /> b.) after that, I apply emu oil (gross) onto the area and let it soak in. Any time the area starts to throb, I just throw some more emu oil on it. </p> <p>This has helped me immensely. It can't hurt to try on hemmorroids, since the two are similar, and I feel so lucky that I figured this out early on. It was almost unbearable to walk for a couple of weeks, but this method has seriously been a lifesaver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-104027 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:04:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 104027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I haven't given birth yet but I need my DH to read this. He seems to think I will be in the gym at 2 weeks post partum. pshhhhh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103351 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:45:47 +0000 autumnlove 103351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't deliver vaginally but it took me about 6-7 weeks to feel better! Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103349 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:43:26 +0000 heffalump 103349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! I had a 2nd degree tear, and the pain went away in about a month. Did you talk to the doctor about something you can do for the hemorrhoids? Have you tried sitz baths, or Tucks pads? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103253 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 17:06:40 +0000 banana 103253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! I don't have any advice for you because I had a c-section but I do know that this too shall pass!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103234 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 16:15:38 +0000 chopsuey 103234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!! You poor thing.. I don't have any advice for you, but my hems and vag were good by 5 weeks. I had really bad back pain and wrist pain for.. 9 months though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103211 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:49:28 +0000 Alivoo01 103211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG!! Bless your heart!! I'm cringing in pain with you just reading about it. :( Wishing recovery REALLY REALLY REALLY soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103209 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:47:45 +0000 Crisark 103209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in a similar situation after my first birth. Now, I also tore from end to end during that delivery. So, my healing time was longer as well. I had similar issues with the going#2. I would cry even when I had to pee because I knew it was going to hurt.<br /> I can assure you that you are not alone and that it does get better.<br /> My oldest is almost 9 years old and I was brave enough to do it a second time and am now wanting to go through it a third and final time so trust me when I say it will get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103129 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:49:01 +0000 cyndistar3 103129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness that sounds horrible! I hope you feel better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/aghhh-will-the-pain-ever-go-away#post-103124 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:45:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 103124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am getting so frustrated. Here I was thinking that week six was some magical number where I would feel perfectly normal again!<br /> I am at week 5 now, and still in so much pain. The first three weeks, my vagina was soo sore from tearing/stitches, that started getting better then at three weeks I got awful hemorrhoids. Now I cry every time I go #2 and then my bum hurts ALL day! I have to sit on the boppy or else I can't even sit it hurts so bad.<br /> Add that to my baby never wanting to be put down so I carry him/hold him all day long, and it makes for one frustrated mama.</p> <p>I told my sister that I feel like the effects of childbirth will never go away, and she said, "Yeah I feel the same way." And she is 6 MONTHS pp!! That didn't give me any hope :(</p> <p>pleeeeease tell me I will feel like a human again.. </p>
