WARNING: TMI!!
I'm 41 weeks pregnant, yet to discuss possible induction (still time to go on my own) and I've just now started suffering from hemoroids or 'an external Hemoroid'. I keep getting constant bowel movements this week and it's irritating it, OMG the pain :( I'll mention it to my Doctor this week but am wondering if any women went through labour with this. I know that labour can cause it, I was well prepared for that, but the excruciating pain I feel after going to the bathroom is making me terrified of going through labour in the coming days with this thing there, is it double the pain?! Thanks ladies. Sorry I know this is gross, the things our bodies endure!!

Head to the GP or your pharmacy hun, there may be a cream or ointment you can use whilst pregnant that will help with the symptoms. Good luck!
I would go get it looked at too! Don't be in pain if you don't have to be
I got haemorrhoids from giving birth to my first child and they never went away. Creams never worked. I lived with it and gave birth to my second with them. Sure they hurt but the pain of childbirth overrides everything and I didn't notice them during birth.
