I have a doctors appointment today and planned on asking my doctor but I'm a little embarrassed. I'm 38 weeks and have noticed some changes over the past week or two in my bootyhole. Instead of being wrinkly when I finish using the bathroom, there are some areas that are "ballooning" out for lack of a better term. It's not painful and there is no bleeding. Could it be the start of hemorrhoids? I can't find pictures online of hemorrhoids that aren't red, bleeding or painful so maybe it's something else? Has anyone else experienced hemorrhoids that weren't painful or bleeding at all? If so, I'm hoping to treat this before labor so it doesn't get any worse. If it's not hemorrhoids though then I have no idea what it could be. Also I'll add that I've been using a squatty potty for the past few months because it helped me to go but here lately it's been uncomfortable to use it and causes a lot of pressure. I stopped using it today as soon as I noticed the booty problems. I'm hoping if I stop using it they'll just go away on their own.
