Has anyone given birth with hemorrhoids?

TMI...

I seem to have piles. They are internal but pop out when I poo I am absolutely terrified now of childbirth. What will happen then? Google has loads of horror stories of them hurting worse than stitches....

Also reading reports that no cream will help in pregnancy, is this true? I've put germaloids on twice and plan to pick up suppositories today. Or is this a waste of time?

I've got them, gave birth just fine x

I'm 4 days post birth right now and have one big one, but I can tell you I didn't even notice it in comparison with the stitches. There's enough going on down there and I've just done the terrifying post birth poo, and it weren't the bum that hurt I can tell you. So not always bad. I just clutched a water wipe to my stitches and only noticed the pile when I wiped, no pain from that.
