This is important to talk about! And important for providers to talk to their patients about. One of my pp nurses said "I think you have a little hemorrhoid," which was the only time it was mentioned and no one told me how bad it could be or what to do about it. I think providers are so used to them that they don't realize we as first time moms have no idea that we're likely to get them, what they feel like, or how to deal with them.
Yes i agree! I also didn’t take the stool softener that was prescribed - because I wasn’t able to get help and go get the prescription filled (paper prescription). I did NOT realize that by not getting that ... I’d suffer intense pain trying to poo. NEVER AGAIN. Next time I’m buying stool softener in advance!!!
I am now negative from haemorrhoid after I did a Test , it was like a great miracle, I really can't thank you enough Dr igho, You cured me naturally with your super herbs after I came across your channel on youTube, May God bless you Handsomely
I had a c section the 29th of June and I was fine for a few days, I even managed to poop in the hospital. After taking my lovely narcotics I got 6 hemorrhoids 🙄 3 of those were bigger than quarters. I ended up going to the hospital twice in 2 weeks and seeing a general surgeon. I cried for DAYSSS, I have never been more miserable in my entire life and I’m a cancer survivor so that says A LOT 🤣. I tried everything and the kitchen sink. I went through two tubes of preparation H, one of those having lidocaine, witch hazel pads, sitz baths, ice, a donut to sit on, hydrocodone creams from my doctor... EVERYTHING. I went 8 days without a bowel movement. And the tipping point on day 8 was not being able to pee all day so I went to the hospital crying in pain and they gave me a catheter and an enema. It was more than a pound that came out 😧🤣 and more than a liter of pee. I am now almost 2 months postpartum and they’re finally gone, with the exception of a couple skin tags down there now. I would take 10 more c sections over those hemorrhoids. point of the story is, TAKE FIBER SUPPLEMENTS, use enemas after day 2 of no stool, it’ll make everything easier for you, and try to stop your pain meds quick.
Ahhhhh, thank you! Currently dealing with them at the moment - not fun. They waited until after I gave birth my last pregnancy, but they’ve been out and proud since the 2nd trimester this pregnancy... yay.
Upvoted just for the pun in the opening. Definitely kept it for the helpful information in the body of the video. Thank you so much for demonstrating, as much as is reasonable, the positions and maneuvers that are helpful in any video that calls for it.
Thank you sharing this! I'm 33 weeks pregnant soon to be 34 weeks. This is my 3rd pregnancy and the first time I've ever experienced having hemorroids during pregnancy and it's horrible! So I just wanted to say thank you again for sharing this! ❤️- Erica
After having extremely painful hemorrhoids for years that I couldn't get rid of, even after an outpatient surgery (EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL) we got a bidet so I wouldn't have to use toilet paper to further irritate them. It was truly a game changer. I only have flare-ups from time to time now and they are nothing like they used to be. Seriously. Everyone. GET 👏 A 👏 BIDET 👏
Well I’m encouraged by the comment section - I’m only 25 and after intense pushing and constipation postpartum... I get them on and off. They don’t usually cause me any pain but it’s really disturbing for me and sad when I wipe and I can feel bulges 😭 it makes me so self conscious lol literally never had them til I had a baby. Not even I’m pregnancy - just from pushing. Ugh!
Yes, it’s normal for them to hang around some after delivery and possibly come back with constipation. Hopefully some of these tips may help keep them at bay!
@Laura Abarbanell surprisingly not too bad. One of the nurses held a piece of gauze that she kept running under hot water over it as I pushed and it gave me a lot of relief. I think afterwards was probably the worst part cos I had tearing it was a double whammy of pain when using the toilet 😅
This was a great video! I watched your videos while I was pregnant with my first baby. I gave birth back in May. This was when the corona virus was spreading rapidly. I couldn't take any classes due to everything being closed but watching your videos made me feel like I had the tools and preparation I needed to go into labor. I even told the doctors while I was delivering! Thank you so much!
I had a 4th degree tear and a severe hemorrhage during my delivery of my son 3 weeks ago. I had lots of complications and my nurse said it may have been because I was induced and had no epidural. My contractions never came all the way down from about an hour after they started pitocin until I had him (supposedly the cause for my very extreme hemorrhage). Then it took only 6 minutes from the time my doctor walked in the room for me to push him out.. I didn't have any pain relief while pushing and if I did I may have not pushed as hard and gotten a 4th degree "laceration." Well.... I was bleeding profusely while being stitched up...and 5 days after delivery I popped a stitch and it got infected. Then, the infection spread and all of my stitches were coming out. I went to the ER because I noticed things coming out of the wrong area 😬😓 they also did an ultrasound and found a huge clot still left in my uterus. Two days later, I went in for surgery. They removed my stitches, scraped out the infection, did a d&c, and restitched me (including an extra stitch over my my urethra). When I went in for surgery 8 days postpartum, I had lost over 30lbs. I also escaped pregnancy and delivery with no hemorrhoids, but then had diarrhea because I was so ill from the infection so I had to try to hold my torn rectum and run to the bathroom....so I got hemorrhoids 🙃🤦♀️
Oh my goodness, that all sounds so miserable. I am so sorry you had such a rough delivery. Hopefully some of these tips might help get things feeling better with you bum! 💗💗
Women are super hero’s! I’m sorry you’ve had that experience, I’m expecting my first baby in 6weeks and so amazed at all the crazy things women go through during this whole process, from conception to postpartum. A lot of things can happen. So thankful though that we are insanely tough. I hope you’re feeling better💕
We typically are adamant to discuss about this "butt problems" but thank you for opening up so women can also be empowered that they are not alone and that we have solutions for it may it be conservative or medical/surgical management. It was the most horrible experience I had which occured on my 1st pregnancy and sadly did not went away. Now I am on my 2nd pregnancy and I needed a external thrombectomy during my 1st tri. to evacuate the blood clot. It was and still is the worst pain! Worst than CSection! It took me a week before it healed but my colorectal surgeon recommended hemorrhoidectomy after I give birth. At least for now I can function and work my routines without 90% of feeling my "butt problem"...Just piece of advice, don't be afraid to seek help especially to our situations like this. Goodluck.
I know I’m not the only who appreciates you sooo much!! This is greatly significant content you are putting out there Nurse Zabe. Thank you soo much!! ❤️
Butt of course! :) :) :) Thank you! I'm 35 weeks and I've definitely gotten to know what hemorrhoids are already, so this is super useful. A stool softener has definitely helped with passing things more comfortably, plus staying really hydrated. I also JUST got some Tucks cooling pads which I meant to use postpartum but I'm thinking now is also a good time lol.
Thank you so much for all your videos! I shared a few of them with some of my expecting friends and they are in love with you as well! :)) I had a great 12 hour delivery of my first baby 11 days ago (and I decided to go for an epidural into 4 hours of labour, as my water broke and contractions were 2-3 minutes apart since the beginning). For my surprise haemorrhoids came along a few hours after, when I had my first visit to the toilet.
I had a tear (as if I had gotten an episiotomy) and that wasn’t as bad as the hemorrhoids. They were the WORST and made me the most miserable for about 3 months PP 😩 I didn’t think my butt would ever be the same lol now this is what I’m nervous about if I have anymore babies.
chelscg same! I probably had a fissure and it was like pooping razor blades 😩I’m due late August with my second baby and I’m so nervous about them again
@@esthergs1795 honestly I’m not sure if one certain thing really helped, I tried a cream and even an ice wedge lol, I would say the cream probably helped the most but I had to be really consistent with it and use it the max amount. And I tried to sit on a donut pillow as much as possible! It felt like a lifetime of discomfort and then eventually it just stopped.
Thank you for posting this!!! 25weeks and got my first roid. So many people don't want to talk about them but I had seen this video in your stream so went straight for it
Old video but still-Thank you for this video! I’ve never had hemorrhoids and this makes me feel less anxious about if it were to happen to me this pregnancy!
You know.. I always thought your last name was Zabe. Then I finally paid attention to the intro picture the explained where Zabe comes from and I put my palm to my face. Love your videos! And you!!
Thank you very much for your tips! Before to get pregnant I've been having an internal hemorrhoids for couple years. So on the stage of planning my pregnancy I went to gastroenerologist and asked her if I would need any surgery. And I was told that it wouldn't be a good idea as the surgery could affect the ability of sphincter to keep everything inside. So stool softener+ fiber+wipes are the only treatment.
Omg I’m 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow and the hemorrhoid struggle is real (and honestly, kinda expensive to deal with! Between the creams, wipes & pads, cold packs, sitz baths, Epsom salts... it really adds up!!)
Just had a hemorhoidectomy 2 days ago, when I was just over 25 weeks. Deeply afraid of having to do that again before delivery. So glad that I had already known your box of tricks to deal with post-surgery, but it still hurts like mad to go Number 2.
Thank you so much for this video!! I had watched it while pregnant and now I’m watching it again as I’m postpartum in the hospital. I keep hearing how scary the first poop is and scared myself so I had to come find your video again! (It’s not as scary as I thought it would be lol)
Thank you!!! I can’t wait till I can get mine taken care of after baby two arrives!! I’ve had them forEVER they started from running and then babies made them worse
I worked for a colorectal surgeon for 10 years....one thing you do NOT want to do is use a donut pillow. Use a memory foam pillow. Donuts allow gravity to just put more pressure on them. Its literally the WORST thing you can do!!!
I read in a book called “The Gut” that there’s a muscle that sort of slings around the colon and when you squat (or use a stool) the muscle relaxes and it’s easier to pass stool
I was so scared to poop after delivering lol. I had my first ever hemorrhoid and it was external. It freaked me out because I was like, what is this?! It felt like my body literally fell apart lol. Those hemorrhoid wipes helped a lot in reducing the size.
Let me tellll you, that first postpartum poop is SUUUURIOUS 😂 I was SCARED! I’ll never forget it was NINE DAYS after I had my daughter (mostly because I tore soooo bad and I was SO SCARED to poop so I kept holding it) and let me just say it got to the point... there was no holding it 😂😂 my mom was talking to me from her bedroom and I got up to pee and all of a sudden I just said “Ma, I can’t talk right now, please don’t talk, I’m having my “second baby” right now and there’s no stopping it! I Need to concentrate and breathe” 🤣 she laughed SOOO HARD 😂 (thanks mom! 😒 but after the fact I laughed too lol) it was sooo painful but also I felt like a whole knew woman 💃🏼🤣
What if you have external hemorrhoids and are about to go into labor? Anything to be done to help during labor? If they hurt before and pop out while squatting.... then will they burst with pushing? Can they be held in with counter pressure?
Typically they don't burst and especially during pushing the baby out. I have externals the size of my thumb (very large) I just had a baby 5-20-20 with no pain meds and was fine. I have had hemorrhoids since I was pregnant with my first child, 13 years ago. Just delivered my 5th and plan on having them surgically removed this summer. Just keep them clean! This may sound weird but a few weeks before delivering they were so large I didn't want them to get worse so I would use my thumb vaginally to push against the anal wall and push out my bowel movements. Basically it kept me from having to push or strain. Do I recommend this, no, but it is what I had to resort to. Your delivery team is use to seeing them so isn't anything to be embarrassed about. Congrats on your little one, you will do great!
I would think counter pressure directly on the hemorrhoids would be painful, but changing positions, laboring in the tub and practicing open-glottis pushing during delivery would all be useful in not making them a ton worse. I’ve never seen one rupture or burst while pushing.
I have dealt with hemorrhoids for years and as far as pain treatment goes, I've never had any relief from the ointments like Preparation H. But one thing I found that helped immensely was Carmex, the lip balm. You wouldn't want to use a flavored one, but the original Carmex contains menthol and camphor which are great topical pain relievers. Just be prepared for that menthol sensation, it's a bit strange at first.
I have been dealing with this issue since my teenage years unfortunately and i use Haedensa (a german brand, i am austrian..) that has exactly that effect!!! and also a bit of numbing ... they also do depositories which are my life saver...
My daughter stated that her issue with hemorrhoids have now lessened since starting the t.co/C8XcPuKj7s hemorrhoids treatment solution I discovered in Google searches. We`re very optimistic and thankful for making this guide and for guiding us to freedom from this awful ailment. .
Another tip, your body will have natural surges where it's easier to push. I'd almost say they're like painless contractions that help you poop. Wait till one of these happens and push with it. You won't have to strain nearly as much.
i have hemorrhoids all my life and the only thing i find that help is to avoid toilet paper, its too harsh and doesnt clean well, insted babywipes help alot and i found that it decreace my chances of having hemorroids again.
Good to know! Mine keep popping out from even the SLIGHTEST amount of trauma. Whether that be exercise or even a more stiff poo. It’s super annoying and tbh If that happens on a day I’m like omg I do not want to have sex with my husband in fear he could see it!!!! I totally need all these God send tips!
I had this torture through almost my whole pregnancy. It was horrible. After having my baby it was even worse, I got a hernia too from pushing so hard. It was so painful and just 24-7 discomfort. So glad it finally went away after about 3 weeks postpartum. 😩
I didn’t know about doulas before I became a nurse, but I have thought of taking some doula training to better enhance my nursing practice! I would have a hard time not being medical if I worked as a doula and operating within their scope of practice instead of a nurse’s scope. Both are important in the delivery world.
Wow, watching how the hems practically melted away within 48 hours, feels so good lol, I used what I talked about the other day, well it actually took about 72 hours for them to totally shrink and disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the sense of relief is so worth it.
apply castor oil, it works! Ive had one for about days now and the pain /discomfort is going down ! I had one 3 years ago I took collinsonia root tablets and it was GONE ! but im afraid to take it this time because im 9 weeks pregnant
I had the worst hemorrhoid after my second pregnancy and delivery. It was like a grape hanging out of my bum, soooo itchy and sooo painful! I bought witch hazel and some small cotton pads and doused the pads in the witch hazel. I would squat and place the soaked pad right up on the hemorrhoid and leave it there over night. In 3 days the hemorrhoid was gone! Best thing ever!😀
I got a hemorrhoid once(never eat an entire bag of jalapeno chips). Its gone now but my butt hasn't felt the same since. Now I'm 30 Weeks pregnant, and I'm scared.
Ok so at what point should you be worried about the bleeding during pregnancy? I know number one thing is keeping open dialogue with your doctor because they know more specific to each patient but generally speaking. For example pain level (including lack of pain), amount of bleeding, how this may change with anemia (could anemia make it a tad more frightening? Untreated vs treated anemia)
Thank you so much for talking about this type of things that are not fun to deal with!! I have a question, I had my son 9 months ago and the hemorrhoids that appeared in postpartum are still there, I have tried a stool softener but I wanted to know if you knew of any other things I could do to make them go away. Again thank you for always educating us in your videos!!❤️
All the things mentioned in this video can help, as well as elevation or the affected area. Lie down on the floor facing a wall with your legs straight up the air resting on the wall and a few pillows under your bum.
Please help this is going to sound so stupid but I have hemoriods and got disc herniated my cervical spine I missed the toilet and sat on the rim of the seat totally hitting all my hemorrhoids I feel so stupid as it m so careful but it’s hard to look down. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I feel like I’m the only one. Now my homorroids are horrible again 😔😔😔
The only thing that helped my golfball sized hemorrhoids was gauze drenched in alsol cutaneous solution ( my hemorrhoids and slowly but surely they started to shrink after being in complete agony for two weeks pp..
My daughter left me with a pretty large hematoma at the base of my lady bits and also tore on both sides! First poo after delivery was awful!!! Currently just over 4wpp and still dealing with hemorrhoids. 😞😞
Have you ever done a What Your Nurse Wants You To Know About the Vitamin K Injection??? As a new labor nurse, I’ve seen so many parents refuse it or SERIOUSLY hesitate before saying yes to it. I feel like it may have something to do with this vaccine fear. I always have to specify that Vitamin K isn’t a vaccine, and that there are virtually no side effects
@@Nurse_zabe or even just a video on common reasons you'll get stabbed during Dr visits during pregnancy. Like the glucose test (I know you have a video from when you went through it), whooping cough vaccination, generic blood tests and when to expect them. I hate walking in to an appointment and them asking do you want this vaccine or test we have never mentioned before? My Drs and nurses are great at explaining things (though it's always very short explanations), so I ask questions but I just hate that feeling of you have 5 minutes to make a decision. It's not that they are being rude or pressuring it's just I'd like more of a warning.
currently 37 weeks, I have external hemorrhoids that started 2 days ago.. super painful and i’m worried about it because it has a little bleeding. I just applied anusol plus but I dont think its getting better.. I’m also sched for induction on my 38 weeks because of GD. I cant do any exercises anymore because it hurts a lot (took some Tylenol) also did a hot and cold compress. any advise on what to do?
I was lucky and went to the bathroom right before pushing, pushed for a very short amount of time, but OH MY GOD THE HEMORRHOIDS AFTER couldn't escape it. Nothing like stitches upfront and a bleedy, itchy bum. Get to experience round 2 here soon😂👌
Omg I am pregnant and at 11 weeks I had big poop that legit felt like giving birth. I pushed but it hurt so much I had to get it out. Im 14 weeks pregnant and I just another hard time going to the bathroom(maybe I should up my water intake). I pushed hard and I had red blood. I still get the tiniest amount of blood if I wipe but it basically stopped. I actually looked I know I'm weird . But because I feel something there, not really Painful at all slightly achy but I think I have haemmroid on outside. Will I need surgery ? I'll definitely be asking my doctor
I'm sorry I had to laugh at the pointed toes part. I'm very very very short, and my toes are usually pointed anyways so that I can even reach the ground, it adds NO height to my knees 😅 I'm about 26 weeks into my pregnancy. Do all women who give birth get hemmeroids?
Thank you very much for the video, I didnt give the birth yet, but i would like to know , if hemorrhoids vanish after some time after giving the birth? 🌹 I didn't catch this info in the video❤
I was wondering if you could a video of how do deal with the anxiety of birth/ c section, im excited for a baby but nervous ans i have alot of anxiety. I i was told by friends if you end up having a c-section you have to be awake, im very afraid of surgery , super excited to have a child but very nervous for birth wether vaginaly or c section.. also could you talk about c section after care.
Hi! I have a video all about cesarean births. I am working on a video on birth trauma and how to avoid it. Please know that it is normal to be anxious and nervous about birth because you’ve never done it before. But if these thoughts are intrusive and overwhelming, talking with a licensed health care professional the help you manage your anxiety can be super helpful!
42 weeks with my 4th. Cluster of grapes 🍇 poking out of my butthole rn. Im glad we are talking about this, because some people have a real hard time. It's the miracle of life baby, it ain't always pretty.
I’m 15 weeks pregnant and my hemorrhoids got worsened I’m worried about giving birth for my first child does it affect or make it hard to give birth and push the baby out if you have hemorrhoids? I wanna know if there are some of you here gave birth with hemorrhoids please share your story. Were you able to give birth naturally? Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼❤️
Omg been waiting for this video but its a week late haha had my baby a week ago and prior to that i was suffering from them roids!! I was always terrified of pooping lol
Nurse Zabe yes! I had a csection so i guess it helped tht i didnt push, plus the 2day liquid diet. Thats what my dr told me, once the babys out itll get better in a week atleast coz the pressure thats pushing down was alleviated.
I already have hemmorhoid (5yrs now before pregnancy and it gotten bigger recently now that Im pregnant but it doesnt hurt, can this still be cure with home remedies or does it need to be surgically removed? Probably size of a half of thumb... X(
This is important to talk about! And important for providers to talk to their patients about.

Me too though.. 😬
He speaks to my soul 😩

brittyalyse same girl, same.
The worst 😩. Hope some of these tips help!
After pushing for what felt like forever with my first born, I had an awful hemorrhoid... Witch hazel was my very best friend:)
No way and it works on external ones I have 1 for each birth I’ve had so far 2

@Laura Abarbanell surprisingly not too bad. One of the nurses held a piece of gauze that she kept running under hot water over it as I pushed and it gave me a lot of relief. I think afterwards was probably the worst part cos I had tearing it was a double whammy of pain when using the toilet 😅

Yes, I definitely thought the hemorrhoids after my second were wayyyy worse than the tear. 😩
What helped you?
@@esthergs1795 honestly I’m not sure if one certain thing really helped, I tried a cream and even an ice wedge lol, I would say the cream probably helped the most but I had to be really consistent with it and use it the max amount. And I tried to sit on a donut pillow as much as possible! It felt like a lifetime of discomfort and then eventually it just stopped.
Thank you for posting this!!! 25weeks and got my first roid. So many people don't want to talk about them but I had seen this video in your stream so went straight for it
Me 26 weeks pregnant sitting here with hemorrhoids
😩
Same only 36 weeks
15 weeks here 😔
Laura Abarbanell you are my soul sister . 37.4 .
Hi yours cured?
Old video but still-Thank you for this video! I’ve never had hemorrhoids and this makes me feel less anxious about if it were to happen to me this pregnancy!
"Butt of course" 🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious!!!!
You know.. I always thought your last name was Zabe. Then I finally paid attention to the intro picture the explained where Zabe comes from and I put my palm to my face.
Love your videos! And you!!
Thank you very much for your tips! Before to get pregnant I've been having an internal hemorrhoids for couple years. So on the stage of planning my pregnancy I went to gastroenerologist and asked her if I would need any surgery. And I was told that it wouldn't be a good idea as the surgery could affect the ability of sphincter to keep everything inside. So stool softener+ fiber+wipes are the only treatment.
Omg I’m 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow and the hemorrhoid struggle is real (and honestly, kinda expensive to deal with! Between the creams, wipes & pads, cold packs, sitz baths, Epsom salts... it really adds up!!)
Hi yours cured?
TMI but this is such perfect timing for me as I’m 9 months pregnant with my 3rd child 😂
I don’t believe in TMI! Congrats on baby #3!
I've had them so bad I went to the colorectal surgeon and was crying in pain for days. Best treatment is prevention for sure. Take the colace!!
So true! Hope you’ve found some relief!
The first minute of this video made me giggle way too many times!! Michael Scott always teaching us valuable life lessons 😂
Right? Is it bad if I use an office reference in every video?
Just had a hemorhoidectomy 2 days ago, when I was just over 25 weeks. Deeply afraid of having to do that again before delivery. So glad that I had already known your box of tricks to deal with post-surgery, but it still hurts like mad to go Number 2.
Thank you so much for this video!! I had watched it while pregnant and now I’m watching it again as I’m postpartum in the hospital. I keep hearing how scary the first poop is and scared myself so I had to come find your video again! (It’s not as scary as I thought it would be lol)
Thank you!!! I can’t wait till I can get mine taken care of after baby two arrives!! I’ve had them forEVER they started from running and then babies made them worse
Yay! Hope the get better soon after baby #2!
I worked for a colorectal surgeon for 10 years....one thing you do NOT want to do is use a donut pillow. Use a memory foam pillow. Donuts allow gravity to just put more pressure on them. Its literally the WORST thing you can do!!!
Yup yup! I’ve heard this too. Thanks for the tip!
I read in a book called “The Gut” that there’s a muscle that sort of slings around the colon and when you squat (or use a stool) the muscle relaxes and it’s easier to pass stool
Yup!
I've been taking a stool softener everyday to stay normal.
I was so scared to poop after delivering lol. I had my first ever hemorrhoid and it was external. It freaked me out because I was like, what is this?! It felt like my body literally fell apart lol. Those hemorrhoid wipes helped a lot in reducing the size.
Ahh, that first poo is scary!
Hi yours cured?
Let me tellll you, that first postpartum poop is SUUUURIOUS 😂 I was SCARED! I’ll never forget it was NINE DAYS after I had my daughter (mostly because I tore soooo bad and I was SO SCARED to poop so I kept holding it) and let me just say it got to the point... there was no holding it 😂😂 my mom was talking to me from her bedroom and I got up to pee and all of a sudden I just said “Ma, I can’t talk right now, please don’t talk, I’m having my “second baby” right now and there’s no stopping it! I Need to concentrate and breathe” 🤣 she laughed SOOO HARD 😂 (thanks mom! 😒 but after the fact I laughed too lol) it was sooo painful but also I felt like a whole knew woman 💃🏼🤣
LeaveMeAlone333 on a scale of 1-10, how painful was it and is it true that it’s worse than pushing a baby out?
What if you have external hemorrhoids and are about to go into labor? Anything to be done to help during labor? If they hurt before and pop out while squatting.... then will they burst with pushing? Can they be held in with counter pressure?
Typically they don't burst and especially during pushing the baby out. I have externals the size of my thumb (very large) I just had a baby 5-20-20 with no pain meds and was fine. I have had hemorrhoids since I was pregnant with my first child, 13 years ago. Just delivered my 5th and plan on having them surgically removed this summer. Just keep them clean! This may sound weird but a few weeks before delivering they were so large I didn't want them to get worse so I would use my thumb vaginally to push against the anal wall and push out my bowel movements. Basically it kept me from having to push or strain. Do I recommend this, no, but it is what I had to resort to. Your delivery team is use to seeing them so isn't anything to be embarrassed about. Congrats on your little one, you will do great!
I would think counter pressure directly on the hemorrhoids would be painful, but changing positions, laboring in the tub and practicing open-glottis pushing during delivery would all be useful in not making them a ton worse. I’ve never seen one rupture or burst while pushing.
Calmospetine ointment and butterfly pads really help me a lot. I’ve dealt with hemorrhoids for years unfortunately.
Sorry typo, calmoseptine is the correct spelling
I need this right now....22 weeks with my first and oooof. 🙈
Ugh 😩😩😩😩
Ah thank you for this, 27 weeks and suffering! 🤯
Ugh, I’m so sorry! 😩
I have dealt with hemorrhoids for years and as far as pain treatment goes, I've never had any relief from the ointments like Preparation H. But one thing I found that helped immensely was Carmex, the lip balm. You wouldn't want to use a flavored one, but the original Carmex contains menthol and camphor which are great topical pain relievers. Just be prepared for that menthol sensation, it's a bit strange at first.
I have been dealing with this issue since my teenage years unfortunately and i use Haedensa (a german brand, i am austrian..) that has exactly that effect!!! and also a bit of numbing ... they also do depositories which are my life saver...
Do hemorrhoids ever go away? I feel like mine have just grown over the past few years 😩 is there any way to get rid of them?
My daughter stated that her issue with hemorrhoids have now lessened since starting the t.co/C8XcPuKj7s hemorrhoids treatment solution I discovered in Google searches. We`re very optimistic and thankful for making this guide and for guiding us to freedom from this awful ailment. .
Surgery
Very helpful, thank you so much...
Another tip, your body will have natural surges where it's easier to push. I'd almost say they're like painless contractions that help you poop. Wait till one of these happens and push with it. You won't have to strain nearly as much.
You’re so thoughtful and so helpful!
Aw, you’re too kind! 💗
I am one week away from my due date and i am freaking dying from bad hemmoroids. It is so painful and even tucks hasnt helped much
You’re amazing! Can you make a video dedicated to diastasis recti?
I can certainly look into it.
Good morning ☀️
Always excited for your videos!
Good morning! And thank you!
i have hemorrhoids all my life and the only thing i find that help is to avoid toilet paper, its too harsh and doesnt clean well, insted babywipes help alot and i found that it decreace my chances of having hemorroids again.
Great tip!!
Good to know! Mine keep popping out from even the SLIGHTEST amount of trauma. Whether that be exercise or even a more stiff poo. It’s super annoying and tbh If that happens on a day I’m like omg I do not want to have sex with my husband in fear he could see it!!!! I totally need all these God send tips!
Butt of course!...that's the exact reason I clicked this video.🥰
Do you happen to have a video on kegel exersises ?! For post and pre baby.
Omg you referenced Michael Scott. Instant "subscribe" ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So thankful for you and this video!!! #28weekspregnant
💗💗💗
I had this torture through almost my whole pregnancy. It was horrible. After having my baby it was even worse, I got a hernia too from pushing so hard. It was so painful and just 24-7 discomfort. So glad it finally went away after about 3 weeks postpartum. 😩
😩😩😩😩
Am struggling with this too. Three weeks!!!??
I get hemorrhoids without pregnancy.... Yeah I'm scared
Honestly, same. 😩
Was really helpful was worried about this had really bad hemorrhoids with my first.
Hopefully some of these tips help you avoid them!
Hi yours cured?
What is the recipe for the OB cocktail please? Sounds yum!
Wish all the nurses were like you❤️
Hi. I just want to ask if having hemorriods during pregnancy does affect vaginal delivery?
I also need to know this!!!
Do you ever think of becoming a doula? Or you love being a nurse? I wanted to become a doula but not sure where do i start.
I didn’t know about doulas before I became a nurse, but I have thought of taking some doula training to better enhance my nursing practice! I would have a hard time not being medical if I worked as a doula and operating within their scope of practice instead of a nurse’s scope. Both are important in the delivery world.
Mine waited until a week postpartum to appear. Sigh. What a pain in the...well.
Ugh, the worst 😩
Went to the bathroom and BOOM changed shirt and hair on the way
Wow, watching how the hems practically melted away within 48 hours, feels so good lol, I used what I talked about the other day, well it actually took about 72 hours for them to totally shrink and disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the sense of relief is so worth it.
apply castor oil, it works! Ive had one for about days now and the pain /discomfort is going down !
I had one 3 years ago I took collinsonia root tablets and it was GONE ! but im afraid to take it this time because im 9 weeks pregnant
Thanks for the video. You are awesome
You’re so welcome!
I had the worst hemorrhoid after my second pregnancy and delivery. It was like a grape hanging out of my bum, soooo itchy and sooo painful! I bought witch hazel and some small cotton pads and doused the pads in the witch hazel. I would squat and place the soaked pad right up on the hemorrhoid and leave it there over night. In 3 days the hemorrhoid was gone! Best thing ever!😀
Witch hazel pads are so comforting! Great tip!
This video was helpful and yes witch hazel pads are the best I just gave birth about a week ago and it’s been rough lol
I’m so sorry! I hope it gets better soon. Congrats on your little one!!
I got a hemorrhoid once(never eat an entire bag of jalapeno chips). Its gone now but my butt hasn't felt the same since. Now I'm 30 Weeks pregnant, and I'm scared.
Ok so at what point should you be worried about the bleeding during pregnancy? I know number one thing is keeping open dialogue with your doctor because they know more specific to each patient but generally speaking. For example pain level (including lack of pain), amount of bleeding, how this may change with anemia (could anemia make it a tad more frightening? Untreated vs treated anemia)
I was gonna like the vid anyways but that butt joke omg loved it😍❤😂😂🤣🤣
Can you make a video about preeclampsia?
Thank you so much for talking about this type of things that are not fun to deal with!! I have a question, I had my son 9 months ago and the hemorrhoids that appeared in postpartum are still there, I have tried a stool softener but I wanted to know if you knew of any other things I could do to make them go away. Again thank you for always educating us in your videos!!❤️
All the things mentioned in this video can help, as well as elevation or the affected area. Lie down on the floor facing a wall with your legs straight up the air resting on the wall and a few pillows under your bum.
Hi yours cured?
ughhh... yea cool info n stuff but good LORD your makeup is FIRE!!!!
Please help this is going to sound so stupid but I have hemoriods and got disc herniated my cervical spine I missed the toilet and sat on the rim of the seat totally hitting all my hemorrhoids I feel so stupid as it m so careful but it’s hard to look down. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I feel like I’m the only one. Now my homorroids are horrible again 😔😔😔
The only thing that helped my golfball sized hemorrhoids was gauze drenched in alsol cutaneous solution ( my hemorrhoids and slowly but surely they started to shrink after being in complete agony for two weeks pp..
Oh mama, that sounds miserable. So glad you were able to find some relief!
Hi yours cured?
girls, i am not a blogger, I don't film videos, just have one (the only one) video where I have some information about hemorrhoids in pregnancy.
Awesome! I’ll have to check it out!
My daughter left me with a pretty large hematoma at the base of my lady bits and also tore on both sides! First poo after delivery was awful!!! Currently just over 4wpp and still dealing with hemorrhoids. 😞😞
Oh goodness hematomas are no fun! sorry you’re still dealing with hemorrhoids 😩
Have you ever done a What Your Nurse Wants You To Know About the Vitamin K Injection??? As a new labor nurse, I’ve seen so many parents refuse it or SERIOUSLY hesitate before saying yes to it. I feel like it may have something to do with this vaccine fear. I always have to specify that Vitamin K isn’t a vaccine, and that there are virtually no side effects
Great idea!
@@Nurse_zabe or even just a video on common reasons you'll get stabbed during Dr visits during pregnancy. Like the glucose test (I know you have a video from when you went through it), whooping cough vaccination, generic blood tests and when to expect them. I hate walking in to an appointment and them asking do you want this vaccine or test we have never mentioned before? My Drs and nurses are great at explaining things (though it's always very short explanations), so I ask questions but I just hate that feeling of you have 5 minutes to make a decision. It's not that they are being rude or pressuring it's just I'd like more of a warning.
Hi can i ask ...im 7 mos pregnant then suddenly my butt is bleeding while every time i go poop...is that dangerous ..even if i didn't feel any pain
Can you get them removed or cut right after labor and delivery?
currently 37 weeks, I have external hemorrhoids that started 2 days ago.. super painful and i’m worried about it because it has a little bleeding.
I just applied anusol plus but I dont think its getting better.. I’m also sched for induction on my 38 weeks because of GD. I cant do any exercises anymore because it hurts a lot (took some Tylenol) also did a hot and cold compress.
any advise on what to do?
I was lucky and went to the bathroom right before pushing, pushed for a very short amount of time, but OH MY GOD THE HEMORRHOIDS AFTER couldn't escape it. Nothing like stitches upfront and a bleedy, itchy bum. Get to experience round 2 here soon😂👌
Omg I am pregnant and at 11 weeks I had big poop that legit felt like giving birth. I pushed but it hurt so much I had to get it out. Im 14 weeks pregnant and I just another hard time going to the bathroom(maybe I should up my water intake). I pushed hard and I had red blood. I still get the tiniest amount of blood if I wipe but it basically stopped. I actually looked I know I'm weird . But because I feel something there, not really Painful at all slightly achy but I think I have haemmroid on outside. Will I need surgery ? I'll definitely be asking my doctor
THAT INTRO MADE MY DAY 😂😂😂😂😂
My dad jokes at on point 😂
I'm sorry I had to laugh at the pointed toes part. I'm very very very short, and my toes are usually pointed anyways so that I can even reach the ground, it adds NO height to my knees 😅 I'm about 26 weeks into my pregnancy. Do all women who give birth get hemmeroids?
Lol. Yeah, maybe helps that I’m 5ft10in 😂. Definitely not something that happens to everyone, but it can be fairly common
Hi yours cured?
Thank you very much for the video, I didnt give the birth yet, but i would like to know , if hemorrhoids vanish after some time after giving the birth? 🌹
I didn't catch this info in the video❤
Thank you. Very informative. You're so cute!
Aw, thank you. 💕
The pun in the beginning I see you girl 😂
Thank you for seeing me 😂😂😂
hemorrhoids is the most hard part after delivery. Cannot sit comfortably one week after delivery.
Definitely agreed! 😩😩
Thank you!!!
You’re welcome! Hope this helps! 💩💗
I was wondering if you could a video of how do deal with the anxiety of birth/ c section, im excited for a baby but nervous ans i have alot of anxiety. I i was told by friends if you end up having a c-section you have to be awake, im very afraid of surgery , super excited to have a child but very nervous for birth wether vaginaly or c section.. also could you talk about c section after care.
Hi! I have a video all about cesarean births. I am working on a video on birth trauma and how to avoid it. Please know that it is normal to be anxious and nervous about birth because you’ve never done it before. But if these thoughts are intrusive and overwhelming, talking with a licensed health care professional the help you manage your anxiety can be super helpful!
I got hemorrhoids when I had my son 13 years ago and I still get them now 😒
Totally normal, totally not fun. 😩 Hopefully some of these tips may help. 💗
42 weeks with my 4th. Cluster of grapes 🍇 poking out of my butthole rn. Im glad we are talking about this, because some people have a real hard time. It's the miracle of life baby, it ain't always pretty.
42!!!???
I’m 15 weeks pregnant and my hemorrhoids got worsened I’m worried about giving birth for my first child does it affect or make it hard to give birth and push the baby out if you have hemorrhoids? I wanna know if there are some of you here gave birth with hemorrhoids please share your story. Were you able to give birth naturally? Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼❤️
Are u k now?
Do Hemorrhoids leave eventually ? Or they always will stay there ?
I swear TH-cam is listening to me... 🤯 I am 39 weeks pregnant and struggling with a lil bit of this. 😕
Omg been waiting for this video but its a week late haha had my baby a week ago and prior to that i was suffering from them roids!! I was always terrified of pooping lol
Are they better after delivery?
Nurse Zabe yes! I had a csection so i guess it helped tht i didnt push, plus the 2day liquid diet. Thats what my dr told me, once the babys out itll get better in a week atleast coz the pressure thats pushing down was alleviated.
Nurse Zabe and deff the stool softener helped!
So happy to hear that! 💗💗
Butt of course made me laugh out a bok.
I already have hemmorhoid (5yrs now before pregnancy and it gotten bigger recently now that Im pregnant but it doesnt hurt, can this still be cure with home remedies or does it need to be surgically removed? Probably size of a half of thumb... X(
Hi yours cured?
