Hemorrhoid cream panic

[Everlore]

I'm about twelve weeks pregnant and have developped hemorrhoids after suffering from chronic constipation since early in pregnancy. They began to bleed last week which gave me a terrible scare as I initially thought the blood was coming from my vagina until I discovered the real source.
They've been uncomfortable and itchy so I thought it best to go to see my GP and get them looked at. She said that they looked large and inflamed and said she could tell they had been bleeding. She talked to me about managing constipation in pregnancy, which I really am doing everything I can to control, and said that she was going to prescribe some cream and suppositories for my hemorrhoids as she said that I needed to reduce the inflamation in that area as they were only likely to worsen as my pregnancy progresses.
She prescribed me Scheriproct cream and suppositories which I got today and I used a small amount of the cream this evening as directed, haven't opened the suppositories yet. After I applied the cream I just thought I'd read up on the cream online as I'm blind and couldn't read the accompanying leaflet. Maybe I should have done this before applying the cream but it had not occurred to me for a second that my GP would prescribe anything that could harm my baby, especially as she had specifically told me that both the cream and suppositories were safe in pregnancy as the active ingredients are minimally absorbed by the body. However, I found information online that suggested that Scheriproct should not be used in the first trimester as there was a small risk to the unborn baby. I'm very worried and upset by this as I would never have used it had I thought it was dangerous and I can't believe the GP would have prescribed it had she known. I suppose I'll have to wait till morning so I can call the GP surgery and check up on this. In the meantime I'm obviously not using the cream again but I'm terrified I may have already harmed my baby with one application of the cream. I'm starting to panic and would really appreciate any advice or reassurance anyone can give me. Thanks.

I've used it in my past two pregnancies - in all trimesters with the second 🥴
I'd try not to worry too much and I hope you get some relief (it really is the best cream for the job and the suppositories are AMAZING - from someone who ended up with a hemmerhoidectomy I really know my pile creams 😂)

Thanks so much for your very reassuring comment, that's really put my mind at rest! The trouble with asking Dr Google about anything is that it always throws up the most alarming results, I should know this by now, especially after spending most of my pregnancy so far googling the safety of all manner of pretty innocuous things in pregnancy and causing myself needless stress!
Sorry to hear you struggled so badly with piles in pregnancy and thanks for the recommendation for Scheriproct. I must admit that the itching and discomfort did abate significantly following my first application earlier this evening so it'd be good if I could keep using it.
Thanks again x
