hemrroids :(

edited September 2011 in Pregnant
I am pretty sure I have em. I was trying to read through other posts about them, and everyone says you should tell your dr. Well my question is I just had a dr apt on Friday and I didn't notice until this weekend I had em. I am going every 2 weeks to the dr. Should I call and tell them or is it ok just to wait until my next apt (the 16th) and tell them then?

  • Give them a call and they should tell you over the phone how to take care of them that's what I did and he told me to buy preparation H and if that didn't help to go in to see him... Hope u feel better their a pain in the but literaly:D
  • I get them every pregnancy and use hemmorhoidal suppositories plus the prep h cream and tucks pads. Just got over them for the. 3rd time this pregnancy. They are def the worst! Your doc can't really do anything. I would mention it at your next visit. Good luck!
  • I do the same thing as @bigmamak! The dr will probably just tell you to get those things. As long as they arent super bad then theres nothing they can do! Good luck :)
  • If they get really bad call the Dr. But u can treat most at home. Good luck. They can be painful.
  • I've had them this whole pregnancy. You don't really need to call your dr unless you want to. Tucks pads and prep h will help relieve the pain. Try not to strain during bowel movements and take a stool softner if you need too. Wiping with baby wipes will feel better too. They never go away, but mine have only acted up about 3 times in the 5 years I had them. (I got them originally from my 5 yo's delivery)
