OMG it finally happened......[TMI]
*sigh*.....I,
got a hemorrhoid....or better yet, an ass grape [for what my hubby called it.] I am COMPLETELY mortified and freaked right now. I'll be 37 weeks on Monday and I have a book of questions for you ladies. I just noticed this after going to the bathroom because I felt like I had something still there, wipe wipe wipe....nothing? wtf? OMFG what's that?!
1.) I'm certain it'll be there for the birth/VBAC. For those of you who've had them before hand, HOW ON EARTH did you manage this while pushing that 7+ pounder out??
2.) Can I still bounce on my birthing ball? It's not going to rupture?
3.) Sex? I don't hurt or itch, and it's relatively small from what the hubby described it to be, since we took a peek, but the doc advised last week to have sex to help get labor/dilation possibly helped out.
4.) My perineum looks like it's been bruised, and is a tad puffy but not anything more. No pain either.
5.) Using Prep H right now, I dont feel any different since I didn't really notice it until after the bathroom, but... how long do they take to go away?
6.) Any other advice or experiences with this would be GREATLY appreciated if shared. I'm still alittle freaked lol. I guess I've finally experienced everything normal in pregnancy now because this is my 2nd pregnancy and I didn't get these with the first =O
