Oh PZ i feel your pain! i had roids with both my pregnancies but mine where so bad (both times) that the creams did nothing (they had become thrombosed) so i had to have them surgically removed - i would rather go thru childbirth than have that done again!

what cream are you using, it is proctosedyl?
No, it's called Anusol. Lol. I hope it works, I really don't want to have them in labour but I really don't want to have surgery while pregnant :s
