Feels like I'm pooping glass! 😫😣

I'm 12 weeks PP and my hemmrhoids have gotten significantly worse! I cringe every time I have to poop, I try to hold it in because it feels like I'm pooping glass! Are any other mommies going through the same thing?! And if so, have you found relief??

Omg. I thought it was just me. 8 weeks pp and it's come out of nowhere. The first time it happened I discovered that I started my period (Yay...👎) so maybe that has something to do with it? I never had a problem with pooping even when I was pregnant. And Im extremely careful not to strain. What the hell is this....

Don't hold it in! Even though it's painful that can make it worse! Drink plenty of water and foods rich in fiber, also using a wet wipe is more comfortable to wipe with than regular toilet paper. And there is cream you can use as well, preparation H I believe.

I have struggled off and on in this postpartum. One thing that significantly helps when I feel it's getting painful again is wiping with baby wipes instead of toilet paper. You should also try to drink a lot of water and increase your fiber intake although I'm sure you are already.
