Last week I had a hemorrhoid come out of nowhere. My doctor said it could be bc of the baby putting pressure on everything (I’m 36 weeks), that it didn’t necessarily have to come from a strain.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has struggled with this? Did it go away before birth? How many days should I go before having it checked? I thought it would gone down a little by now (I’ve been using witch hazel, coconut oil and procort for 2 days), but if anything it’s gotten bigger since having a BM today.

I’m just starting to wonder if maybe it’s thrombosed?

Would love some advice. Or at least to just know I’m not alone. This is miserable, but way too embarrassing to casually discuss with my husband (even though I’m sure he’d be understanding about it).
