Bit shy to ask but I'm in my third trimester and constipation has been bad. Heard piles can happen during pregnancy. Did this happen to anyone here, and did it go away after delivery?
Beta this happens to many due to constipation in pregnancy. Eat fibre, soaked raisins, lots of water, and dont sit too long in toilet. For anything beyond mild, please ask your doctor before using any cream, dont apply random things.
Ugh yes, I got them late in pregnancy and a bit after delivery too, and honestly nobody warns you. It felt uncomfortable and I felt low about it, but its so common. Warm water sitz baths and fibre helped me. You are not alone in this at all.
Haan quite a few of us do, especially later on. Its from the extra pressure and constipation. Eat enough fibre, drink water and dont strain in the toilet. Mine settled after delivery. If theres a lot of bleeding or pain though, tell your doctor.
I got them and ignored the bleeding thinking its normal piles, but I should have shown my doctor sooner. Mild ones manage with diet and water, but if theres bleeding or it really hurts, please get it checked rather than self treating.
