hemorrhoids

Nope - I've been having them off and on throughout this pregnancy. I never had them in my first pg, I got them after I delivered. They suck!

I'm never constipated...I'm the exact opposite.

One more joy of pregnancy. LOL Susun Weed has some suggestions in her book (Wise Woman's Herbal for the Childbearing Year), or check with your mw/ob... They don't have to be that uncomfortable.

i get them on and off this pregnancy too. usually if i have a tougher time on the potty. i tend to be a bit more bound anyway, and the straining will sometimes cause one, but it goes away in a couple hours and haven't been completely painful, just annoying...
