Hemorrhoids (internal) in Pregnancy?
OK, sorry if this is a gross sounding post… I have internal hemorrhoids – and I’ve had them before b/c I have IBS – but right now in my pregnancy they’ve been REALLY bad! I’m 33 weeks and I think my baby has dropped b/c there’s been a lot of pressure down there and the last 4 days I’ve had a bowel movement 4-8 times a day… with a LOT of bleeding… blood is pouring out when I go to the bathroom…
So my question is – has anyone else had this? Did they have to repair it? I"m a little big anemic right now (I"m taking extra iron) but I guess that could cause some problems with it healing… HELP!

Please see a doctor! if you’re losing that much blood it can’t be good! Also there’s the risk of them prolapsing and you won’t be able to stick them back in. then they could get stranged or something and hurt. I know haemorrhoids are common during pregnancy but I don’t think that much blood is so yeah they should do something especially if you’re anaemic. See a doctor! Good luck! And congratulations!
