Let's talk about piles. Can you really avoid them during pregnancy?

[Piffle]

I eat tons of fruit, prunes on breakfast drink prune juice, lots of water and eat salad and veg always
Always more than 5+ a day - am technically a food saint infact.

But still at 24 wks I've got sodding effing piles.

I know suppositories will fix them
What I really need to know is how to stop the bastards in the first place
Do I have to resort to lactulose or a laxative(fybogel will make me heave)

FWIw if not TMI I am not constipated merely a tad sluggish so am a little confused as to why I get them

Oh gawd

FWIW I have success with anusol cream and suppositories - avilable over the counter - very effective
BUT
I want to avoid them altogether, my diet is exemplary so cannot for life of me figure out why

yep, I didn't get them either time
