TMI Hemhorroids/May gross you out

Hi all. I'm 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby. The other day after using the bathroom I noticed what felt like toilet paper stuck in my rectum when I wiped. After I thoroughly wiped/cleaned the area I realized it wasn't toilet paper at all, but a fleshy pink piece of skin protruding from my rectum. Sorry for grossness. I think from straining I may have pushed out Hemhorroids and this accompanied them.!8 was able to push it back in, and have used preparation H- but wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this before? It doesn't hurt, just freaks me out to know that it's there. When I googled I think they're called "piles." Please say someone has experienced this before!
