Jen questioned:


Ok this is kind of embarrassing but I am 37 weeks and have a huge hemorrhoid. It’s about the size of a green olive and it hurts real terrible. I’ve had it since Thursday and I’ve tried preparation H wipes and cream and it’s not shrinking. I’ve also been taking sitz baths and drinking 3 liters of water, eating fiber and taking Colace.

I’m getting close to my due date and I don’t want to have this thing when I have the baby, as I’m sure it will make my labor more miserable. I have a midwife appt on Tuesday and I plot on asking her about it then, but in the mean time do you know of anything else I can do?
