Ugh, this is embarrassing, hemorrhoid at only 15 weeks??

Question

Man! I'm just feeling like total crap! I got sick for 5 days, still feeling like crap. And now I have a hemorrhoid and have no idea how I got it?!?! My bowel movements are just fine, no straining. I read pregnancy can cause them, but at only 15 weeks?? I'm so scared what's going to happen the further along I get! 😱

Answer

Oh girl. Been there! Mine with my first pregnancy were so bad I’d cry driving to work because it hurt to sit down. Ask your doctor for prescription strength cream. I did the Tucks, extra witch hazel, sitz baths, and honestly the prescription just really helped them go away (go back in?  Ewwww). 
They’re back for my second pregnancy but I’ve kept them at bay with a TON of water, the cream, and a squatty potty. 
Good luck!🍀

Answer

Not alone. I have one that appeared around 15 weeks too. Now it’s gone again (I had to increase my fibre intake). Do everything you can to have soft 💩 (water, fibre, fruits, etc)
