    Yucko hun. I got the same at 20 weeks, grape size too, so not nice.

    I got a cream script (cortosoidal I think) from the Drs but luckily for me, it started going down on its own so I didn't use it.

    Try to keep it clean if you can. I tried to stay as regular and soft as possible to stop it being aggravated, using dried figs, prunes and psyllium husks on my cereal. Worked a treat.

    Good luck! xx

    Ouch - I had one after I had Eden, and they're not nice! A huge one! Also had a smaller one before giving birth, but it never really bothered me, and if it did, I just rubbed some cream into it - one I got from the chemist, can't remember what it was called, but was safe to take in pregnancy.

    If you are too embarrassed to go to your chemist - send your DH - thats what I did.. LOL
