I don't have them but someone I know does. Any tips on what to use/how to self medicate w/o seeing a doctor?

Yep - after both pregnancies!
Colace (a stool softener) helps.

I had them bad after delivery. My nurse told me to take a tucks pad and fold it in half. Then put a line of preparation H on the fold, and then leave it between your cheeks, with the fold/preparation H facing in against the hemorrhoids. Sounds gross but it really did help.

Yep, after pregnancy. I used Tucks and Prep H. I had it so bad at 6 weeks postpartum that I had some prescribed suppositories to get them reduced. I'm totally expecting them once this guy arrives.

I had them after pregnancy too. They got better when I was sitting less. There's also a cream that helps, but I forgot the name...

Yep, toward the end of pregnancy with LO2 and after delivery. They went away at about 6 weeks pp. Tucks, Prep H, and drinking lots of water helped.

Prep H suppositories, magnesium (EVERYONE who struggles with regularity needs this), and 15g of fiber daily. Cured me, and mine were bad.

I had them big time after delivery. Definitely a stool softener, a sitz bath, witch hazel pads. Also, when you wipe, I always moisten the toilet paper. Dry toilet paper makes it worse. If they're pretty painful, I recommend asking your doctor for a lidocaine cream. It. Is. Awesome.

Colace, Prep H wipes, and tons of Dermoplast. I had them post-partum and it was horrendous.
