Postpartum hemorrhoids?

Has anyone experienced hemorrhoids before? I’ve never had hemorrhoids before but I do believe I have them now. At my 6 week postpartum visit with my midwife everything was great everywhere. I was still healing from some light tearing but that’s all. I was okayed to resume normal exercise and sexual activity. Needless to say I have not been able to be very physically active due to on demand breastfeeding. We do/did have sex occasionally. I am 9 weeks postpartum and suddenly I have mild hemorrhoids. I think it is from prolonged sitting, again because of on demand breastfeeding but also sometimes my little one can’t sleep anywhere except on me (and she’s two months and getting heavier). So I am sitting a lot for my baby. I’ve never spent so much time sitting in my life. Not even when I was in school. I think sex could have also been a contributing factor. We took it slow and easy the first few times but quickly went back to going full force. It may be putting pressure on my back-door too.

Has anyone experienced this? What did you do? I’m using witch hazel already, I eat fibrous foods (but am no longer taking stool softeners which they prescribed me postpartum before discharging from hospital) and drinking plenty of water.
