The dreaded H's (sorry if TMI!)

[Ethan's mummy]

Good evening everyone :wave:

Just wondering if anyone got the dreaded haemorroids (sp?) during pregnancy?? I got them with my son, can't remember when, somewhere towards the end. Considering i thought that you'd have more chance if big baby and he was 7 pound 1 so not huge. Still get them come back every now and again. Well probably more than not. Now i am pregnant with number two and really worried as to exactly how bad they are going to get. Sorry if this is TMI but figured that someone may be able to help me out.

Thank you in advance

:thumbsdown: Arrrgh those feral things

I got a cream from the chemist which helped ALOT !!!

I hope yours dont get too bad this time around! :hugs:

Just remember to drink HEAPS of water, and fill up on wholegrain foods! Oh, and exercising helps to prevent them too!! :yes:

Hi Samantha,

Thanks for the reply. I too had cream with Ethan but now it's expired!!! I am off to the doc anyway for first preg appt so think i will ask him for another script. I have been drinking heaps of water, but i'm not a wholegrain person! Well at the least i think i'll start eating wholgrain bread!!!

Anyways, thanks for the reply
