Hemorrhoids?!

[dusty]

I noticed I have a enlarged bulging blueberry sized (& looking) protrusion at my anus. I'm presuming it's a hemorrhoid but not sure what I can do to get rid or reduce it.
Anyone had this so early on in pg & what did you do?

Ouch!!! I have them.... the joys of pregnancy and birth,(and one of the things they don't tell you about!!!)but have only ever treated them after the birth. I think you need to talk to your GP about what you can use or do to help..I have a feeling you will be dealing with this for a while. In the end extremely embrassing I had one removed surgically it had burst /defalted but left a skin tag that would tear when I used my bowel (wiping) I was worried about infection, but oh so embrassing to have it done..I'II leave that to your imagination.

I got one huge one at 26 weeks with DD and mine was so bad i had to get in lanced by my GP (i couldnt sit, stand or walk properley!) - after having it lanced i had to do sitz baths (salt water baths) for about 5 weeks and surprisingly i had none during or after DD's birth but like BD i was left with a skin tag after having it initially lanced. I had the tag removed in Nov last year (10 mths after DD's birth) - not looking fwd to that part of pregnancy again

Thanks for that, I think I'll have to go to the GP, such an awkward spot to be.
Sorry you both have had to experience them too!
