Hemorrhoids??

Question

Hello everyone. I am 31 weeks, just went to the bathroom and there was blood when I pooped. I wiped and there was blood as well. Does this mean I have a hemorrhoid? It was a little painful when I was going number 2.

Answer

Use witchazel hemroid wipes. They work wonders. So cooling & comforting to a hurting bum ! :)

Answer

might be, I didn't have them until after delivery last time, but this time I have them.
I started using tucks pads (which you'll want after delivery anyways) and Prep. H.  But I swear by some sort of a stool (like the squatty potty...but you can probably find something in your home) for better positioning.  My cousin (31 years old) ended up with a torn intestine from diverticulitis.  It's becoming more common from typical food consumption and also just improper positioning while going to the bathroom.
basically the "hunched over, reading a newspaper" position is the worst thing you can do.  if you cant get your feet up so you are in more of a squatting position, at least lean back like you are in a chair.  even not pregnant it helps the "flow" of everything.
ok...there's my poop speech lol 💩

Answer

Sounds like it but I would make sure that’s where the blood was coming from. May be check with a mirror? Sometimes you can it if it’s external. If you’ve been constipated you get hemorrhoids, they’re itchy and they burn.
