I've been fine through pregnancy each time, but had trouble about 3-5 days after delivery with the last three. OUCH. Since the first time, I've asked my midwives for a prescription for good cream (proctofoam here in Canada - stuff works wonders!) before I deliver, so I'm all set for afterwards, just in case. That way I can get relief right away, without having to go see the midwife/doctor/chemist afterwards when I'm feeling lousy.

Hope yours goes away and stays away!
