hemorrhoids w/2nd birth
Hello--
I'm Lila, due October 24. I mostly lurk but occasionally post. As the birth of my second child approaches, the thing I'm most apprehensive about (I'm only partly joking) a repeat of the hemorrhoids I had with DS. I never even pushed (I had a c/s for fetal distress) and I had terrible hemorrhoids after the birth. The pain/discomfort from them was *much* worse than from the c/s incision. For those of you who've had 2 (or more) children, am I doomed to another bout of bad 'roids? Thanks Lila EDD 10/24/03 |

hemorrhoids w/2nd birth
Did they make you take a bunch of Senikote (gentle laxative) after the CS ?
Mine did and I took it and I blamed it for the 5 day delay in my milk coming in. I also drank a ton of water after delivery to try and make it easier for the milk to come in, and maybe that saved me from getting bad 'roids ? I will probably get corrected by the hemorrhoid police lurking, but I was of the opinion that roids were caused in part by pushing or at least poor technique in pushing. Something like that. But your case proves otherwise....thanks for the warning - I will be certain to drink lots of water next time and hopefully avoid the Senikote . They did tell me that I would be constipated after the CS.....it would be interesting to know why. L. "Lila Verde" wrote in message om... Hello-- I'm Lila, due October 24.

At that time I was told that when you play around with the bowels, it "shocks" them, and it will take a few days for them to get back on track. Robin T. mom to Katherine, 12/25/00 |

My milk came in three days after the birth, which seems a "normal" amount of time, so I don't know if the stool softener affected that. I'm not sure drinking a lot of water afterwards would have helped in my case. The hemorrhoids were there quite soon after the birth and were not the result of post c/s constipation. The midwife said it was just the pressure of labor that caused them. Lila |

hemorrhoids w/2nd birth
"Sophie" wrote I assumed the same thing about hemorrhoids though - that it was from pushing. I don't know anyone personally who got them if they had a c-section. Interesting. raises hand The nurse helpfully pointed out that I had a "huge" one when examining the day after. It took *months* for that bugger to finally disappear.

I had them during pregnancy (or old ones were re-activated) just from the pressure of the babies. The constipation after surgery (which by the way is often made worse by the morphine) didn't help matters. --Helen |

Sorry to piggyback...

I got them after a c-section. I hated them. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |
