SO TMI: Is it a hemmie?

[CajunShrimp]

Like a tiny round protuberance in your crack?

I have never looked at mine, but it just feels like something is there after I have strained to poop. YWIA for that description.

I don't feel it all the time. It retracts like a shy turtle. :-)

I have never bled.

[CajunShrimp]

It might be. Drink lots of fluids, and if you are constipated at all, use a stool softener. Get some Tucks wipes to use after you poop. Prep H might be good too, to try to keep it in check.

Congrats on making it 29 weeks without one though

Welcome!

Sounds like one. Mine are internal, but I also have this weird red line/ bulge on the outside that I think might be one. (you're welcome for that visual) This pregnancy is wreaking havoc on my ass.

I just bought this stuff, and it is really soothing if/ when it starts to hurt.

External is better than internal. Imagine an itchy hemmie, but it is in an area you can never scratch?

Do they ever go away? My kid is almost 6 1/2 and I'm still sprouting one.

Not a medical professional, just a proud owner of 18 years but I believe these are the hallmarks of a hemmorhoid-in-the-making. Welcome to the club. Move over, @tambcat; i have platinum status around here .

Ahhh this makes sense.

I am going to try my hardest to make sure he/she does not become a friend for life.

I just got these www.amazon.com/Preparation-Hemorrhoidal-Ointment-2-Ounce-Pack/dp/B001G7QV2M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412187028&sr=8-3&keywords=preparation+h

And you can get generic Tucks at the drugstore too. They will give you some at the hospital post-birth too.

Okay. What kind of preparation H? There are 1 million of them. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_4?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=preparation%20h&sprefix=prep%2Caps%2C293

And Tucks are these: www.amazon.com/Tucks-Medicated-Witch-hazel-hemorrhoidal/dp/B000GG850U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412186924&sr=8-1&keywords=tucks+pads

For about a tenth of the price of Tucks buy a bottle of witch hazel ans a package if those circular cotton makeup removers (like cotton balls, but flat and about an inch and a half diameter. Dab a little witch hazel on the pad and tuck it all up in your business. Friction will keep it up there, and I promise it wont sting. It doesnt make them go away ( I'm not sure anything really does) but it makes them smaller and soothes them.

ETA these things (but im on my ipad and sometimes images dont load):
