I think I have a roid.... I thought I lucked out since I didn't get one during labour. Wah. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000590 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:26:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1000590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you, and lots of baths :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000542 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:18:38 +0000 Vegmama 1000542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I'm still pregnant ... oh goodness, I'm sure it's only going to get worse!! Thanks for the tips. I think we're going to have to stock up on some 'roid relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000513 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:13:59 +0000 MamaMoose 1000513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: It sounds like you have an internal roid. The most effective thing for me post partum was to take baths, and then to take tucks pads, put prep H on then, and then leave them between your cheeks for a while. Weird. But effective.</p> <p>@.twist.: I've had both. When I have a little tear is just stings a little bit when I go. With roid it's almost like a dull ache all the time. For me anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000462 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 15:05:26 +0000 Vegmama 1000462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: It's more tender right outside. And, I think it's more like a raised area than a bump ... Kind of like a mosquito bite (which I guess is a bump). It's not painful to touch ... or, it's more itchy than painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000388 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:53:00 +0000 .twist. 1000388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: I'm wondering the same thing.</p> <p>How can you tell the difference between a Fischer tear and a roid? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000379 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:51:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1000379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: is it tender inside or outside?<br /> Does it burn?</p> <p>Can you feel any bumps outside? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-1000367 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 14:49:52 +0000 Vegmama 1000367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this! </p> <p>How does one know if they have a hemorrhoid? I've been a bit uncomfortable and itchy, and wiping is a little painful. I thought at first it was from having an upset stomach over the weekend, and having more than my usual amount of BM's ... now that it's Thursday, and my bum is still tender, I'm wondering if I'm experiencing hemorrhoids. No bleeding (that I can tell). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412954 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 21:48:57 +0000 ladyfingers 412954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up some Earth Mama Angel Baby bottom balm and its been amazing! It immediately relieved some of the pains bc itching and it seems like its gone down a bit. Thanks for everybody's responses. Ah the joys of pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412631 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 15:19:17 +0000 Thenetexan 412631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It may be worth going to the doctor for. I had what I thought were external, but were actually internal that had prolapsed (dropped down). It then developed into a thrombosis. Not fun. Once it has thrombosed, it will not relieve until after you deliver. You can fix the internal ones prior to them becoming thrombosed. This is not common, but still i would go to the doctor if it os really painful. I would pay a pretty penny if I could go back in time and go to the doctor before it became thrombosed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412589 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 14:13:23 +0000 MamaMoose 412589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alternate warm baths and ice. That's the only thing that gives me relief. I'm terrified of what's going to happen during delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412586 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 14:09:49 +0000 tororojo 412586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That suuucks, I'm sorry! :( I had an external one a couple of months ago and the main things I changed were preventative--have been drinking a TON of water (like 10+ glasses a day), eating more fiber (4ish fruits/veggies a day + fibery cereal), doing kegels when I think about it and trying not to sit all the time. And I spend as little time as possible sitting on the toilet. In addition to Tucks and Preparation H, my doc recommends Anusol HC--I don't know what that is, maybe just another topical ointment. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412464 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 11:04:18 +0000 Weagle 412464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told that once you get them in pregnancy you'll get them in delivery, and you'll have a problem with them from then on. I was also told to plan on having surgery once we're done having kids... joy :) In the meantime, I've been using this little gem, recommended by my doula:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ATQQPC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ATQQPC/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00</a> </p> <p>It's seriously amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412449 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 10:50:58 +0000 photojane 412449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ack... i'm so nervous about getting hemorrhoids! i haven't had that issue yet, but i feel like it's bound to happen soon enough. i haven't felt any pressure down there from her yet, so maybe she's just being nice to mommy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412259 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 01:44:45 +0000 ladyfingers 412259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana yeah neither of those is even giving me temporary relief. I tried ice last night but the logistics were... Difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412234 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 01:02:58 +0000 banana 412234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you. I used witch hazel pads and Preparation H. Sometimes it would go away but it would reappear again. It was pretty bad after delivery but went away a month later. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hemorrhoids#post-412224 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 00:52:38 +0000 ladyfingers 412224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg. I don't know how I'm going to handle 10 more weeks. I've had an external hemorrhoid for a week and I've been using Tucks and prep h cooling gel multiple times a day and it just seems to be getting worse. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind! What did you do for relief if you had one while pregnant? I'm assuming its here to stay for some time since the pressure from baby isn't going to stop any day soon. </p>
