My wife has the H word :(

[Pokerjay24]

Hemorrhoids (spelling?)

She's in her eighth month of pregnancy and she discovered a painful bulging spot where the sun don't shine! She had a mild case of hems. after she gave birth to our first child .. It went away in about 3 weeks ..

I feel helpless .. She's in great discomfort and pain .. It also affects her sleep .. She's got the creams and stuff, and knows that she should take sitz baths, but still, her attitude is very negative because she dreads having to live like this for a full month .. She's having a hard time moving from point A to point B.

I feel this puts a negative vibe on the last month of pregnancy. Maybe i am dramatizing this more than it really is (worse things could happen).

Any hope that the hems. might subside in a few days time, for her to at least be able to function around the house? I'm no expert at this (clearly!), i've never had them .. I don't like seeing her like this

Thanks for your help and reassurance!
