Im 37 weeks tomorrow and have had piles for probably about the last 4 weeks or so. Bought some cream and although it obv didnt make them go away it sorted out the pain. Yesterday I got a BEAST of a one, it hurts so much I can hardly sit down, its nearly bringing me to tears, every time I moved in the night it was like murder, its practically making me immobile. Cream no longer touching it, have tried ice too and one of those cold things you put in the fridge. Rang drs for appt today and they have just called and said all they can prescribe is the same as I can get over the counter anyway!! I didnt think this was the case and said so, so he said to ring the day unit and if they had any other suggestions he would be happy to prescribe but they said the same!
That sent me over the edge and now I am sitting here having a good old cry about them, they are only going to get worse arent they? I think the main underlying problem for me is that im worried about how they might affect me in labour and what they might be like afterwards, I feel like theres no end point with them!
Has anyone got any ideas or potential solutions or just want to join me in a moan about them. Im usually so rational, no one was more surprised than me when I started crying after I put the phone down, I feel like im having a pile related meltdown!!
