I took a warm bath last night, and there's not been any more bleeding today. I can tell I'm super irritated, so I may have to look into some Colace. I already take Citrucel fiber and eat fibrous food and yogurt daily, so stool softener may be the way to go. I'm hoping that once I don't need Zoloft anymore, this may resolve itself for a few months...but maybe not.</p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: thank you :) And I know!!!! Insanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106902 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:08:42 +0000 ShootingStar 1106902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had incredibly painful internal ones (which isn't even supposed to happen) and hydrocortisone suppositories are the only thing that helped. I also take colace every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106865 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 07:42:30 +0000 Adira 1106865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had these!!! I ate more fiber (started eating two Fiber One bars a day) and that helped. I noticed that if I missed the extra fiber one day, it would be bad! Booo!!</p> <p>For me, second trimester was the worst when it came to hemorrhoids and constipation. I want to say things got better third trimester (a little) until the very end when it got bad again. But AMAZINGLY as soon as baby was born, the constipation was GONE! It was AWESOME.</p> <p>Good luck to you!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106773 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 05:15:06 +0000 lamariniere 1106773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slightly different, but I had really had constipation for a few weeks. My doctor recommended taking a magnesium supplement, he said it is fine for the baby. I have added 1 400mg supplement per day along with my prenatal. I also try to add 1-2tbs flax seeds to my daily yogurt. Both have helped tremendously and I like that they are natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106750 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 03:29:30 +0000 wonderstruck 1106750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get them until after pregnancy, but stool softeners were seriously my best friend. Tuck's pads helped too with the discomfort, but going to the bathroom seriously made me cry when I wasn't on the stool softeners! I hope they clear up soon for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106617 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:43:15 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1106617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off yay to being almost 12 weeks! I did a happy dance for you when I read that! I second miralax! I've been on it for the last 2 years now for my ibs &amp; have had to double my dosage at least once if not twice a week. It's amazing! You can ask for a cheap RX or get it OTC. If you have an RX you can claim it on taxes but not if you buy it OTC. Those dollars add up come tax season!</p> <p>ETA: dannon activa may help as well as a small bowl of fiber cereal. I had to drop the activa during pregnancy cause it had the reverse affect on me. i wouldnt start all those at once though ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106596 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:28:51 +0000 Andrea 1106596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took colace and benefiber every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106594 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:26:47 +0000 MamaG 1106594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Colace is safe for pregnancy. I took them throughout to make sure that I didn't face constipation. If you are uncertain, ask your doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106585 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:20:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 1106585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( miralax, benefiber, and if it gets bad you can do a glycerine suppository. At least it's internal...!!! bright side to hemorrhoids? doesn't exist actually. :( hope it goes away soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106572 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:04:00 +0000 LovelyPlum 1106572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: beautiful, beautiful pregnancy :) It has many surprises, apparently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106571 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:03:36 +0000 LovelyPlum 1106571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that's good to know, thank you. I had a scope about 5 years ago (which I know is a long time now) and there were no issues. I'm assuming it's the constipation. I'm going to go soak in the bathtub now to see if I can make the throbbing go away.</p> <p>@DillonLion: thanks lady. Water is my new best friend, but I could probably stand to drink more of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106568 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:02:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1106568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Internal hemorrhoids, huh? Wow. Thanks pregnancy; as if you weren't glamorous enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106565 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 21:00:54 +0000 DillonLion 1106565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice. Just stay hydrated and take stool softeners (if they are safe for pregnancy) I had them bad bad bad during postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106563 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:59:51 +0000 blackbird 1106563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them-have for years. My GI doc says if they don't hurt, theres nothing to do. Miralax helps a lot! Mine haven't gone away that I know of....hard to know without being scoped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-topic-internal-hemorrhoids#post-1106556 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 20:57:12 +0000 LovelyPlum 1106556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I might have an internal hemorrhoid...lovely, no? </p> <p>I noticed a little blood on the TP this afternoon, and it's definitely not vaginal. I've also been crazy constipated, thanks to my good friend Zofran, so it seems logical to me. </p> <p>Did this happen to you? How long did it take to go away? For reference, I'm 11w5d today (eek!) </p>
