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.

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?

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.

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.
