Constipation is a common problem faced by most of the women during pregnancy. This is so because the hormones slow down the movement of food in your digestive system. Till some extent, you can cope with the problem by in taking lots of fibers and having extra fluids.

‘Pressure from the enlarging uterus along with the increased blood volume of pregnancy can cause the veins in the rectal wall to enlarge, bulge, bleed, and itch’ which can further lead to hemorrhoids. Though they are harmless but the pain is intolerable.

Therefore you should make it a point to include fibers and fluids in your food as they’ll keep hemorrhoids to a minimum.

To relieve the itching and sting of hemorrhoids, use cool compresses, such as crushed ice in a clean sock. And it would be advisable to consult your doctor before trying any medications.
