Hemorrhoids at 39 weeks pregnant?

St. James

i am 39 weeks and was so happy that i didn't have a problem with hemorrhoids because i've heard they're common during pregnancy...but this morning i realized i have one. it's awful and it hurts. i'm wondering though, i'm due in anytime now and want to know, will it get worse during delivery? also, does it go away on it's own after delivery or will i have to have some treatment?

It will very likely get worse during delivery and yes, you will have to treat them. The bad news is that now that you have them, you'll have them forever. The good news is that they are very easy to treat. Drink plenty of water, get lots of fiber in your diet (even add something like Benefiber to your drinking water), and use Preparation H or Tucks pads directly on the hemorrhoids. I got hemorrhoids delivering my first baby, and they came back with a vengeance during my second pregnancy. But since I know how to treat them, they don't actually bother me anymore.

I am 37 weeks & just now got them...the rn @ the hospital gave me stool softner & this expensive creamit will help relieve the pain or itchyness most of them wont make them go away only help the swelling go away...during birth a lot of girls get them during th epushsing stage!but after birth they will go away..however you will most likely get them again the future now that youve had them now..during pushing it will get wrose before it gets better.... sorry :(im in the same boat as you! most of the time they go away on their own!!!!so dont worry :)
