How to avoid hemorrhoids?

Question

Alright ladies, let's be open here! I'm only in my first trimester and my bowel movements are just not the same. I don't go daily and it seems like I have constipation all the time. I see blood sometimes and I'm scared that at this rate, my diet isn't offering me enough fibers and my butt is going to grow hemorrhoids! Any tricks and tips?

Answer

I add powdered fiber to my OJ every morning. No problems since then.

Answer

Little bit of miralax everyday .... it might not prevent hemorrhoid developing during labor though. No never had them until birth happened and then omg that was terrible

Answer

I'd go to see your doc. Also don't keep straining for the toilet that's not good for you at all! I was constipated for the whole first tri and I was given laxido by my doc to drink it helped a bit but the constipation just kind of resolved itself after a while x

Answer

Water. Lots of water, like 4L daily. You'll be miserable due to the constant peeing but hey, like you weren't anyway at 3AM 😉

I'm in my 3rd trimester and have continued with the water but I added a fibre supplement powder last week (just one spoonful a day). So far, no signs of any hemorrhoids. And try to move every day, even if it's only two 20min walks. Good luck!
