Horrible topic but...piles!?

[LinsG]

Is anyone suffering with these? If so, is there anything that helps and do they get loads worse the further along you get?

I have them already and my mum said they'll get loads worse through the pregnancy, not to mention how bad they'll get beacuse of the labour! Now i'm really scared!

I didn't have them when I was PG but they came when I was in labour I was known as the lady with the sore bottom in the maternity unit I used Anusol and the midwife also recommended Arnica tablets but I'm not sure if they'll be safe to use while your PG.

Seven years on and I still get them too

I had them a few weeks ago but it wasn't that bad and went on its own.

i had them in my late pregnancy but ok i had no pain but could feel it there. after the birth they were agony and took about 3 weeks to go.
i tried using creams and supps from the chemist which helped but didnt heal them completely so went to the doctors and she gave me some steriod supps which cleared them up in a week

Thankfully, I haven't experienced these (yet), touching wood that I don't though!

Try keeping away from dry foods and drink loads of water, maybe it may help a little?
