9 weeks pregnant and now have hemorrhoids that bleed.

I am so uncomfortable with these hemorrhoids that have sprung up since being pregnant.

Yesterday I went and got some preparation h wipes with which hazel which seemed to have numbed the area a bit but just now I had a lot of blood when I wiped. It freaked me out but then I wiped in sections and realized it was coming from the hemorrhoids. 😭 I try not to strain, I lean forward like I’m on a squatty potty (suppose to be good for your ass)...

At wits end with these...

Anyone have any tips or tricks... it’s like I hate going to the bathroom now.

I’ve asked OB to give me a pre natal with a stool softener in it, hoping that would help.

Anything!!!!

*** update - current situation hoping this will relieve pain for the day till I can get to CVS for some relief products ***
