Uh oh...I think I have hemorrhoids?! (I’m in my 3rd trimester) I’m on vacation and can’t see a doctor yet. I looked online and it looks like there are creams but you just wait til it goes away? Any experiences/advice? Does it come back? Sorry I know it’s graphic 🙈

Welcome to motherhood!
OTC cream will help, but, yes, you just wait it out. Nothing to be done.

And if you aren’t already take steps make bowel movements easier to avoid having to strain. I took two colace a day, drank warm water in the am and lots of water throughout the day, and complemented with miralax and or fiber chewables throughout my entire pregnancy.

I was introduced to Colace in the hospital when I was postpartum - it’s a game changer. Definitely recommend

Ah yes, I remember this oh so well. I found Earth Mama Perineal Balm worked well for relieving pain. And try to not sit for long periods of time.

Tucks wipes, donut cushion and miralax. Also, getting an ice pack helps with swelling and pain (it’s awkward, but you can do it).

You’ll need all of these post-delivery too! I sat on the donut for weeks when I was nursing, holding the baby, or in the car so the hemorrhoids didn’t get worse.

Omg you have ALL of my empathy because they’re truly horrendous. Probably the worst part about pregnancy for me. Silver lining - they do get better!!

Yes sorry! All part of many moms’ experiences unfortunately. Use Prep H, and try not to sit on it. Maybe pick up a donut from a local pharmacy to make you more comfortable. Sorry this is happening to you! Expect it to come back and be worse postpartum if you have a natural childbirth. Lots of pushing doesn’t help lol. But...you get a baby on the other side of it! All worth it. Best of luck to you and your family and hope this clears up quickly for you. ❤️

Ugh! Been there and even had a thrombosed one that was soooo painful. Definitely call your doctor for advice.

In addition to the advice you’ve already received above, try Aspercream on a Tucks medicated pad and/or get an ice pack in there, ice will help.

Good luck!

Why do some people preach that you can get infected again after recovering, and then say this won't get solved until we have a vaccine?

Doesn't vulnerability of reinfection render a vaccine useless?

I’ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. It’s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. I’ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what it’s like for you?

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.
