Hemorrhoids or something else?

Miranda

So I've never dealt with hemorrhoids after birth with my first 2 babies.. Or ever in my life. Well I just had my daughter on the 26th. I didn't tear at all and I've felt pretty good until 2 days ago when I finally had a bowel movement (my first since having my daughter. Before I went, I noticed my butt had been a bit sore and there was a spot that looked sort of bulged out. But Ive been taking miralax and stool softener to help me go easier and n I was finally able to, it was nice and loose but ever since then I've had what looks like 3 or 4 large bulging spots that stick out and are extremely painful and swollen. It's basically impossible to sit anywhere, even to sit in my bed during nighttime. I didn't get any seep last night because i couldn't get comfy no matter what I tried. Even the smallest amount of pressure is just fucking awful! I bought some hemorrhoid cream, numbing lidocaine and tucks pads with witch hazel. I dont know whatelse to try. Irs seriouslt worse than when i tore.

Sounds like it could be hemorrhoids. At night, especially, slather those bulges in ALOT of prep-h. Then lay down for the night. If you have a boppy pillow or a pregnancy pillow, use that if you need to sit upright. It will help with no direct contact to your butt. I would suggest laying or lounging more so than sitting upright as much as you can. Keep taking the stool softeners and try not to push at all when you go. Use the prep h daily, and im serious about using alot. Like your lubing it all up, you want no friction.

It depends on the severity of them and how much rest you can give them! Haha! Just be consistent and you should notice, hopefully, a difference in the mornings since you will be asleep. Walking to much can irritate them too. Ugh, so annoying but it shouldn't take to long. If they persist though or get worse call the Dr and they maybe can do something more.

Thanks! Ywah its so painful i cant sit down. Ive been having to stand up or lay down because when i even try to sit down im in way too much pain. Do you know how long they normally take to go away or even get better to the point im not in as much pain? I was so excited i didnt tear when i pushed but omg this is worse than stitches. At least all i needed to do then was spray with my bottle when i peed. This is just awful!
