Hemorrhoid Hell

Allison

I am currently 28w and I am suffering terribly from pain and swelling due to hemorrhoids. I dread going to the bathroom. It’s so bad that I don’t feel comfortable sitting. I have tried warm baths, cream and pads, but they only offer very temporary relief. Is this just something I am going to have to learn to live with til baby? Or is there anyway to lessen the suffering? Can changes in my diet or daily routine help? I’ve never dealt with this before. Help!
