Piles

[Charlie:-)]

Im fretting a bit about getting piles, I know I shouldnt because theres nowt I can do about it either I get them or I dont but I just wondered how common it is.

 

[Minxy]

Yeah, I had quite a few, but they went very quickly, within a couple of weeks.

It's all so swollen down there back and front anyway, you'll be fine xx

I am suffering right now Think I need to up the fruit n veg & water intake as I'm grabbing what I can, namely rubbish!

 

[trixipaws]

i didnt get any. i think its coz i had no pain relief so could feel the pain of crowning, it stopped me pushing too hard! or maybe im just lucky lol

 

[sarah113]

ive had piles since my first baby and they have never gone away

 

[LucyBee]

Yes, I had one/two. VERY painful but they went as soon as Tom was born. Apparently a HUGE percentage of people have them anyway and never notice they're there. They're so common. Painful though!

 

[paradysso]

yeah they are common and not really any major problem, i had section and still got them, i think because i laboured for a few days and the baby adds pressure to the vessels.

i suffered more with fissures then the actual piles, just get a few tubes of good cream

i had them, absolutely horrendous so ended up havin to have surgery on them to get rid of them
