the dreaded hemeroids :(

[Stevie]

i got them at about 25 weeks, the doc gave me a cream called "scheriproct ointment" i used it and it got rid of them considerably (still had moments tho ) i am now 34 weeks and was wondering if it was ok to still use this cream?
any advice would be lovely, thanks

I'm not entirely sure but when I had some VERY small ones a few weeks ago (around 34-35 weeks) my ob said it was fine to put cream on.

I have issues off and on and this remedy hasn't worked for me

I had some minor haemorrhoid issues before DS, no problems during pg and then BANG at birth had a major blow out (OB prescribed Proctocedyl - I just checked and its Pregnancy Category A)

Category A
Drugs which have been taken by a large number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age without any proven increase in the frequency of malformations or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the fetus having been observed.
