I had one off and on during pregnancy/postpartum. Fiber and Kegels help. But if I don't get enough fiber and have to strain, it sometimes returns...I don't know if they ever truly disappear? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814504 Wed, 29 May 2013 02:18:17 +0000 MamaJ 814504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Major tmi from me. Mine did bleed and there was some bizzare disharge too (eeeww). Then suddenly it disappeared between 4 and 5 months. I was too embarrassed to go to the doc. I just kept hoping it would go away and it finally did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814470 Tue, 28 May 2013 23:50:13 +0000 DigAPony 814470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eat fiber, drink lots of water, and use Preparation H (or the generic brand, doesn't matter) after every time you have a bowel movement and before you go to bed. I've won the genetic lottery in that I've gotten hemorrhoids off and on since middle school (yeah, awesome) so I'm quite familiar with the routine. If they get really bad you should go to the doctor, but try the routine I mentioned for two weeks first. It usually takes mine about two to three weeks to go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814459 Tue, 28 May 2013 23:23:37 +0000 mrskc 814459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't hurt to go to the doctor. I went for a hemorrhoid before (before I ever had a baby), they gave me some suppositories to help it. My grandma swears by Preparation H. She bought me some postpartum, but I never used it. Mine went away fairly quickly though. Other than that, are you eating a lot of fiber and drinking lots of water? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814392 Tue, 28 May 2013 21:50:53 +0000 Weagle 814392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to the doctor. Check out the Gold thread I started on this topic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814367 Tue, 28 May 2013 21:28:14 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 814367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but I can't believe you're blaming this on Sadie. She's too cute to be responsible for this....or stretch marks...or weight gain...or hair loss...or any of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814321 Tue, 28 May 2013 21:06:27 +0000 Bao 814321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them BAD and it sucked...it took months to go away but finally I feel normal again, hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814315 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:58:29 +0000 pl0508 814315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: ha amen sister !!

AHH!!<br /> @lemondrop: Thank you! Her cuteness keeps me from being mad her for this. ;)<br /> @matador84: When did it go away for you? Why don't people tell you this before you get pregnant?!<br /> @blackbird: Yikes! My biggest fear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814273 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:35:25 +0000 Dandelion 814273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm over 2 months pp and mine is just now starting to settle down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814244 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:23:19 +0000 blackbird 814244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it doesn't go away, a GI doctor can lance it off for you. I have one, too, and it sucks so bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814238 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:16:45 +0000 matador84 814238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally started a thread on this when DS was probably 5 or 6 months because I was sooooo horrified and it was such a TMI post! Seriously like 5 months out I felt like I was occasionally pooping glass still! I kept using tucks and it eventually went away ...but omg, seriously, i was mega-horrified for a couple months there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814234 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:15:11 +0000 lemondrop 814234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, I'm just cracking up at the Sadie's fault comment. She sure is adorable though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814229 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:13:24 +0000 stargal 814229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! i had this it FINALLY went away, i would say at 8 months pp. it hurt when i would go #2 and i wouldnt bleed but it was painful. it went away but if i still had it for much longer i was gonna go to the dr...</p> <p>oh and im totally laughing at your FrankenVag comment! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-ol-tmi#post-814222 Tue, 28 May 2013 20:09:56 +0000 photojane 814222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know if I should put this is PP or your health, but since this is all Sadie's fault, I'm sticking it in PP.</p> <p>I know you don't want to, but talk to me about your PP hemorrhoids. What is normal? Will it EVER go away? When should I see a doctor?</p> <p>I had never in my life had a hemorrhoid until I gave birth. I got a big doozy of a rhoid from pushing. I could definitely feel it in the beginning, but it didn't seem so bad with FrankenVag swollen to the size of a cabbage. It finally went away at about 3 weeks PP, and I thought we were done with that unfortunate side effect. Except, starting at about 6 weeks when everything else had settled down, the demon rhoid returned. Now, at 15 weeks/3.5 months, it comes back every time I #2 more than once a day. And, it's actually getting more painful. No blood, but lots of ouch. </p> <p>I know you don't want to know about my butt, but I need to know that I'm not the only one with this issue. Or, if I am, I need to go to the doctor. But, y'all, I really don't want someone messing around down there. :( </p>
