Just internal though, so I think it was more lack of fiber and not enough water while nursing. Dealing with it right now... pooping hurts sooo baaaaad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259915 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:16:48 +0000 pastemoo 259915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: The 90 calorie Fiber One chocolate brownies are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259895 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:45:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 259895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I got from this is that "90 calorie Fiber Choice peanut butter/chocolate brownies" now exist..Must locate.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259885 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:31:56 +0000 mrskc 259885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I've had this problem before I was pregnant. I was an impatient pooper and would push too hard to speed things along. Lol I didn't realize it could give you hemorrhoids, heck I didn't even know what those were! I've been extra careful during pregnancy and drinking lots of water and making sure I get enough fiber and luckily haven't had to deal with it yet.</p> <p>One thing that has helped me not have issues anymore is letting gravity do its job. Don't be in a hurry to poop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259873 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:21:28 +0000 cranberryapple 259873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this issue as well, but only twice during the later half of my third trimester. At first, I freaked cuz I thought it was vaginal bleeding, but then I was able to confirm through multiple wipes that it was not, so I felt relieved. I wanted to bring it up with my doctor but gosh darnit, I was too embarrassed to even mention the word "anus" or "rectum" to him!! OMG!! It seems so silly in retrospect, and male or female doctor, it would've still been difficult for me to phrase it. =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259306 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:32:19 +0000 pastemoo 259306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah.... mine were not painful in pregnancy then painful postpartum for a few weeks, and then from 6-10 weeks it was HELL, and now it's slowly going away. I'm only treating with diet...<br /> @Mrs.B: eek!@jholler25: hahahahhahahha. I had a c-section (but labor and pushing before) and she's right. Enjoy it! Hah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259260 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:49:58 +0000 cvbee 259260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: thanks for the tips! I will keep these things in mind if it ever comes to that for me. (Stay away from people until the giant toot comes out, and let them put me to sleep) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-259092 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:38:48 +0000 Mrs.B 259092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: I had the colonoscopy a few months PP. I opted to stay awake during the procedure so I could still take care of DS when it was over. It wasn't bad at all just sort of uncomfortable and awkward. If I ever have to do it again I will let them put me to sleep. They shoot alot of air in your colon during it so afterwards you have to pass the air (basically the biggest fart of your life!) which happened to come as we were out for lunch after the procedure. SO embarassing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258836 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:57:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 258836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol yes.<br /> I actually had some before I even got pregnant so pregnancy totally made them worse. seriously the whole toilet would be full of blood. nasty.</p> <p>After I had DS I thought it would get worse, I was fine for the first three weeks. Then right at 3 weeks I got the worst hems EVERRRRR. seriously I would cry while going #2. It was insanely torturous. They lasted an additional 3 weeks. I became religious about putting tucks pads on them and that helped a lot. Also, soaking in a sitz bath - I put sea salt and herbs in my bath tub and soaked. It was wonderful and helped a lot.</p> <p>Also I used this product a lot while I was pg and I SWEAR by it: <a href="http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/new-mama-bottom-spray.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/postpartum-recovery/new-mama-bottom-spray.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258741 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:31:51 +0000 cvbee 258741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: tell us what your OB says. I got what you have at 6 weeks postpartum from not drinking enough water while breastfeeding and getting constipated.....probably also from the pushing in labour. I told my doc about my bleeding and pain (at that time it felt like I was pooping razor blades) and he said to make sure I eat enough fibre. Since then, (2 months later) my poops are all nice and soft but I still have a flare-up bleed at least once a week. </p> <p>@Mrs.B: can you tell us more about what it was like to have a colonoscopy. We're already TMI here, so may as well tell all? I'm a bit scared to tell a doc about my bleeding because I sort of don't want a colonoscopy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258738 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:29:46 +0000 Weagle 258738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: My doula. When she came to check on us the week after LO was born and saw that I was having such a hard time she quickly sent me a link. It won't make them go away forever, but it will shrink them a bit. And it makes you feel like you're holding an ice cube between your cheeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258734 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:26:06 +0000 PrincessBaby 258734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@c.sassy: Wow, how did you know to put it "there?!?"</p> <p>@highwire: Lol, very technical diagnosis:)</p> <p>@hilsy85: I am a hard wiper! I think b/c I used to be such a spotter and even to this day I'm checking for any sign of spotting. I'm such a freak:) I will look at those wipes! Sorry about your new friend:( I would never be able to look either! I picture them looking like little monsters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258722 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:18:57 +0000 hilsy85 258722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hahah, I couldn't bring myself to look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258720 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 20:18:34 +0000 hilsy85 258720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try using "adult wipes", lol--the flushable kinds--when you have a BM. This has happened to both DH and me (and I also found my first hemmy a few weeks ago--a joyful experience, let me tell ya!). It's probably exacerbated by wiping too hard with toilet paper, so I think the wipes help. We use Cottonelle brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258671 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:52:45 +0000 DillonLion 258671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a problem for me too! I sent a mesage to my OB about it. this was his reply: "Sounds like hemmeroids. Welcome to pregnancy." Well, gee thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258666 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:49:06 +0000 Weagle 258666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely had the same problem while pregnant and have dealt with it since. And 3 hours of pushing did nothing but take the problem a step further. Unfortunately, (according to my mother) once you get them in pregnancy you'll probably get them in labor, which means you'll probably always deal with them. She said tons of her friends ended up having surgery once they were done having kids. </p> <p>In the meantime, here's my secret weapon. A little goes a long way. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ching-Hung-Soothing-Herbal-Balm/dp/B003TN33SQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1344991727&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=ching+wan+hung" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Ching-Hung-Soothing-Herbal-Balm/dp/B003TN33SQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1344991727&#038;sr=8-2&#038;keywords=ching+wan+hung</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258661 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:45:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 258661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258657 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:43:08 +0000 purrpletulips 258657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have this issue but DH does.

Good times. But you're right, better safe than sorry! They wouldn't do that until after I delivered right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258606 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:11:57 +0000 Mrs.B 258606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have internal hemroids from pushing for so long with DS (3 hours). They don't bother me to much now but every so often I still get flare ups and bleed. Not much you can really do about it but you should for sure talk to your OBGYN. I had to get a Colonoscopy:/ for mine which really sucked but better to be safe then sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258602 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:07:29 +0000 PrincessBaby 258602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I am too scared to take a gander! There's SO MUCH already going on down there! Especially in the front! I read Jenny McCarthy's 'Belly Laughs' and she talks about how in pregnancy, your vag ends up looking like two slightly blue Twinkies sitting side by side. At the time I couldn't imagine what the hell she was talking about. Now I'm pretty sure I know what she was talking about! I'm scared of it! And my Booty Problems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258601 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:05:06 +0000 PrincessBaby 258601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess Booty Issues just go with the pg territory? I'm cool with it, I just hope it doesn't get worse. Dr. Google makes it seem like if you get hems, your insides basically fall out your butt! Oh mah gah! Please don't let that happen to me!!!!</p> <p>A blog I read - MODG (she's frickin' HILARIOUS) - she calls her hems "Butt Nuts" and I find it wildly funny:) Until I have butt nuts. Then it's not funny anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258600 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:04:56 +0000 chopsuey 258600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omg I hate thongs now. and how do you look at your booty hole? I don't think I've ever seen mine! jk. I saw it when I was in labor--not a pretty sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258598 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:00:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 258598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not bleeding but I think I have bum issues. Over a month ago I was wearing a thong and had SERIOUS itchiness. I googled and found hemorrhoids - and FREAKED. granny panties since. still itchy though. so I'm not really sure. i totally looked and didnt see anything though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258596 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 18:55:23 +0000 chopsuey 258596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got hems from pushing for 2 hours when I was in labor with LO! Every once in a while I'll bleed from my booty and it HURTS.<br /> : </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-have-booty-issues-tmi#post-258594 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 18:53:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 258594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So not to be TMI...I occasionally bleed when I have a BM. Like not from my vag (Thank goodness!), but yep - from my bum:( I know this is internal hemorrhoids - but I have no pain so I haven't done anything about it. I haven't been super-constipated lately - I discovered these really delicious 90 calorie Fiber Choice peanut butter/chocolate brownies and they're so good! I end up eating 2 a day. So this isn't occurring lately as a result of being stopped up.</p> <p>Does anyone else have bum issues? If you have internal hemorrhoids, is there a need to treat them if there's no pain?</p> <p>I have an OB appt in 2 weeks. I'll ask her then, but just thought I'd ask here. Bc I just went and there was, ahem, a noticeable amount of red in the toilet. It's enough that I have to force myself to remain calm and check the "front" first to make sure it's not serious pregnancy bleeding, and then I confirm that it's definitely the "back." </p> <p>I would call my Dr's office, but I probably wouldn't get a response from them in a non-emergency situation until I showed up for my appointment! Plus I am lazy. Actually it's definitely more that I am lazy. </p>
