Is anyone else's asshole in bits? I have been struggling with internal hemmroids on and off throughout this pregnancy. But the last few weeks I've started to get external ones. It's so uncomfortable and itchy. I woke up three times last night and had to put the cream I have on them.

Oh man that sounds awful. Have you tried that garlic home remedy??

My TMI, I don't know what's going on with either holes. I thinking I go to just pee but then I wipe, check and there's some poo there. Am I sharting? Just wtf is going on. I have no idea but things are coming out as they please.

leenziepops I'm afraid to try the garlic, I'm so scared it will literally burn the hole off of me. My skin feels puffy so it's obviously really irritated. I have an appointment with the midwife today so I'll bring it up. I just really don't want her to examine me, I've no problem with her I just would rather keep my asshole to myself. Strange if it was the vag I'd drop the knickers no problem.

Good luck with the appointment. I understand your squirmishness. It's like having sex then taking the next step and doing anal sex. There's a big step there for that hole that's less than an inch away!

As far as I know I don't have any hemroids(I assume I would know), but the other day I wiped off a big blood clot. I know it was from my bum & it hasn't happened since. I kept questioning where it came from and I'm still befuddled. Nothing hurt or hurts now.

[pghtruelove]

Having internal hemroids, but that hasn't changed since the first trimester. My TMI is I recently has a really tough BM and it made me prolapse. First of all, this was the most terrifing thing that ever happened to me. Second now even when I'm just peeing, anytime I push any muscles in my downstairs region I prolaspe(not fully but just a little bit). It's pretty painful though and I'm so scared about what will happen during labor. :-(

[bendherova]

I've had hemmys since around this time with DS1. they did get slightly smaller in between pregnancies. Sucks. And it's a ridiculous mess to clean post #2.

[lalamomma]

Add me to the hemmroid havers list. Thankfully mine are staying under control and haven't bothered me much so long as I continue being gentle the seem to be ok. They are external (how do you know there are internal ones?) so I've been using tucks pads at night and in the morning. Hoping they go away!

[pghtruelove]

@hazeldublin my butt hole is coming out... :-(

[mathistm]

Hemorrhoids club here too. Wahoo. My dr told me they won't go completely away until after birth. I also was told a really cute story from one of my coworkers about having to get hers cut open after labor. Uhh no thanks.
My tmi- I can't wipe properly anymore unless my pants are all the way to my feet and then I drive the struggle bus to bend forward enough to pick them back up.
Also my allergies can go straight to hell.

[bendherova]

OHH! Funny. tree pollen is kicking my butt. So, I was giving DS1 a bath last night and sneezed. I wet my pants. We both got a good giggle out of it.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Add me to the tired butthole club. Oh what a club! I have pooped 3 times today and it is 8:30AM. Also, they are constipation in effort but diarrhea in reality.. any else have this?? Maybe the effort involved is due to the fact that my belly is one giant rock hard BH contraction during the process, I don't know. Happy TMI Tuesday!

[wormgerm]

periwinkledaydreams yes, I'm with you. I feel like it's such an effort to be patient and relax the poop out and it's just a little bit and almost diarrhea. So annoying.

I woke up last night to flip sides and pee but found myself stuck to the bed with sweat. There was a tearing sound as I peeled myself off the sheet. It was wet when I came back to bed. Our room was cool and comfy! I'm a sweaty betty I guess.

[periwinkledaydreams]

wormgerm, thanks for commiserating. I now do my relaxation and labor breathing exercises while on the toilet! I'm getting lots of practice lol

[midwestchaos]

Apparently my very fragrant gas last night didn't smell so bad. The first time DS said "mmm it smells like scrambled eggs in here." The second time DH came home and asked what I was cooking for dinner because it smelled good. I couldn't believe it because it smelled bad even to me, lol.

[billyhorrible]

Sunday night I wiped and a big glob of goo came out. At first I thought "cool mucous plug." Then I remembered we'd had sex on Saturday and that glob of goo was probably nothing my body created.

[trixi282]

Add me to the sweaty sleepers club... I remember being hot with J too, but I think its compounded in the hospital bed. I did get a fan a couple of nights ago and haven that blowing onto my bed all night and I only sleep with a sheet and although I'll be fairly comfortable (temp wise) while sleeping. I always wake up with my pajamas stuck to my back and butt, and sweaty boob creases and armpits. Its super glam in the morning!

[maddib]

+1 on the roids.. After my shit explosion the other day they are tired and angry. My doc told me to just use hydrocortisone cream. I have been. Also witch hazel helps to shrink them. Tucks has witch hazel in them so that works too. I can't find my damn bottle.. I am terrified of giving birth with these bad boys. They are going to be even worse afterwards. Ugh.

I thought this only happened to me!! Unless I sit on the toilet immediately and for a good 10mins doing kegels, 24hrs later glob of goo comes out.

That's my fear as well. How bad they will be.

Ya I am not looking forward to it.. I know how bad it was from just pooping my brains out Sunday and now I am dreading it because it will be a million times worse.

[mathistm]

For my hemorrhoid ladies-these wipes from target are wonderful. They get ya nice and clean and have the witch hazel in them. Plus they are flushable which is always a perk.
Also half the price of the "name brand" ones.

My only TMI for today is the crotch/boob sweat I am experiencing at night. It isn't even hot in my house and I wake up in a puddle everytime I get up to pee :/

+1. I don't remember sweating before delivery with DS1, just afterwards. And wowza, afterwards is a whole different ball of fun. /sarcasm.

I sweat like crazy, and it's all in the crotch. When I woke up to pee last night I thought my water must have broken, or I had peed on myself. Nope. Just sweat.

I agree. I was not prepared for the night sweats after giving birth. I ended up sleeping on towels on my bed because I was sick of washing my sheets all the time. I would wake up SOAKED

Same here. Combine that with leaky boobs and you have a winning combo!

[lalamomma]

Omg the sweating crotch... I'm glad I'm not alone. It's so gross.

[erbear]

H was trying to be cute and undress me last night when I was taking a shower. I tried to really quickly peel off my pantiliner (ew gross) and he was immediately horrified by the sound. Apparently my husband had no idea they stick to your underwear and not actually your crotch! So much for anything remotely sexy.

[missjenniebean]

My liner had pink in it. I wiped and my discharge had a slight pink tint to it. Idk how to feel about this as I have been crampy all day :/

[trixi282]

missjenniebean, a tiny bit of pink isn't completely uncommon as the end nears. But if it continues, I would call the doc. They may want to check if its amniotic fluid.

Could be early signs of labor!

[jcprn]

My vag is so achy and I feel like my discharge is thicker. I keep wondering when I wipe at first if it's part of my mucous plug though I doubt it. Anyone else?

[Deleted]

I just pooped and it hurt like a mo-fo. I think because baby is so low now that he's just blocking that path with his head. I just know I had to go to my breathing and meditative space to make it happen and I questioned whether or not baby was going to come out with it.

You're welcome for that.

[missjenniebean]

@jemomma trixi282 - I was debating calling them but am gonna see if it continues...i have an appointment tomorrow at 330 so I might wait it out. I am nervous something is happening BC of how shocked my doc was at how low baby's head is and told me not to go into labor in the next week that he wanted baby to cook longer. He is out of the office this week too, so I see a diff doctor tomorrow. I feel like a SS. Ha.
