Does any pharmacy/CSV carry it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-194045 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:24:58 +0000 littlebug 194045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm so worried I'm going to get these. I've always had problems with regularity and hard stools, so I can only imagine it is going to get significantly worse with pregnancy. Not.looking.foward.to.it. Good luck! And if you find any miracle cures, let me know! I'm sure I'll need them at some point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-194040 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:22:22 +0000 MamaLove 194040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water &amp; fiber. Definitely tucks/witch hazel. And check with your doctor about COLACE. My doc recommended to help with constipation-- which can help you avoid hemmroids. I know it wouldn't do anything for what you have, but it could help you avoid them in the future, or avoid these ones from getting bigger or more sore. GOOD LUCK. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-194026 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:12:17 +0000 Weagle 194026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water and fiber! And my favorite secret weapon, Ching Wan Hung ointment for when they're really bad. I pushed for 2.5 hours in labor... I needed some help in this area and Ching Wan Hung did the trick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-194015 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 14:05:14 +0000 MamaMoose 194015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dealt with them for most of my adult life so I feel your pain. In addition to the suggestions already on here I find that putting a little vaseline back there can help as well. Sorry to be gross but it helps for when you do have to poo for things to slide out a little more easily. And it helps stop irritation when you are going about your day. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193988 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:48:07 +0000 ninja 193988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the preparation H, and suggest the cooling gel type. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193973 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:36:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 193973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I was constipated for the first 18 weeks, and finally got normal again. I thought I was in the clear, but I guess not! If it's not one things it is another...good thing the end is worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193967 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:33:23 +0000 KT326 193967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wipes with witch hazel, preparation H, lots of water and lots of fiber so you aren't straining to poo. That helped me a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193955 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:19:09 +0000 hilsy85 193955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! Oh no :( I'm terrified of getting these, especially because I have been so constipated lately. Boo!!! I miss my normal digestive system lol. PS YAY for 24 weeks!!! So exciting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193950 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:17:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 193950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will try both, thank you! i have been doing warm baths and then switching to ice packs, hasn't done much to help relieve the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193941 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:15:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 193941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tucks pads or witch hazel pads to put in your underwear. So soothing!!!</p> <p>Hope they go away soon. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-the-unpleasant-side-of-pregnancy#post-193934 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:12:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 193934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I woke up Sunday with what I can only pinpoint as hemorrhoids. I have never have them but did a little research and I'm pretty sure I'm on of those that have gotten them. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and will mention it. Anyone else suffer from these? Any tips to help curb the pain? I'm only 24 weeks and really don't want to deal with them for the rest of my pregnancy if I can avoid it! </p>
