thanks,yep they are getting their marching orders lol.

lol angelnz i read ur bump post on the colds post and wondered wot on earth u were talking about lol,now i no.

lizzle,I had bad hayfever when summer started last year and took hayfever tabs which i made sure were safe for me.weird how some pharmisists have different opinoins aye.

my midwife prescribed me Razene when I was preg with xander as i got hayfever for a few weeks with him and he didnt get affected in any way.

Sorry to hear you all have runny noses, sore throats and all the rest of it that comes with being sick. I'm feeling fine (touch wood).  Sometimes it really does suck being pregnant because theres not a hell of alot out there that you can take.  Hope you all get better soon.

Zandersmum i hope that the heamoroids are getting better and going back where they came from.

,thank god i am not weird for knowing bout the potato theory lol.

The cream seems to be shrinking the external heamoroid and it doesnt hurt as muchanymore yay,now i have a cold,my son had us up at hospital due to vommiting and he now has runny poos but is slowly gettin beter,and nath still has his bug!!!! this household is a bit of a illness magnet at the mo lol

I can only imagine how many of u want to know if im gonna try it lol.I dont no at this stage,will c how the cream goes and then decide.never thought id be shoving veges up my bum lololololol.but if they dont clear up soon i may have to.

LOLOLOLOL well ladies,the first one she suggested was to grate some potato and apply it like a compress (cant remember if u put some grated spuds up ya bottom),the second way is to carve a piece of spud in the shape of a bullet (prob about 2-3 cm long) and insert it up ya bum like a suppository.

How it works is that the potatoe draws the water to or from the haemmorroids(cant remember which it is).Oh and u use raw spuds lol.I think the spud is meant to draw the fluids from the haemmorroid thus shrinking them down. 

hehe thanx.

midwife stressed to me the importance of getting them under control before babes born,I agreed as i dont wanna be havin them to deal with as well as a new baby and a 2 yr old lol.

Midwife gave me a couple of ideas using potatoes lol may try it tho as u just never know.

He prescribed some cream which is going to be fun to apply (NOT!!!).and just to keep up with fluids and fibre.He said it had thrombosed(?) which means that it has bled

He seems to think that in a few days of applying the cream i shall be a bit more comfortable as it shrinks it back down.I am scared to go #2 in case it hurts lol.

It is weird cos no one i no of in my family suffered from these yet i have a bit of trouble going to the loo once and I get one!!!

I said to Nath today that this pregs has def thrown all sorts at me lol.

This is an embarrasing thing for me to talk about but i think i may have one,i am off to th Dr. when i wake up as i am in a lil bit of pain.

Has anyone had one while pregnant and if so wot did u do to ease the discomfort?I am pretty sure i have an external haemorroid as i coud feel a lil lump by my anus (sorry if this is weirding u out lol).

As u can see by the time of this post it is 330am as i cant seem to get to sleep cos of the pain.I have popped a paracetemol tab which i am not sure has helped ease the pain.

Anyway I think I will try get some sleep sorry again ladies about this topic but just really wanting reassurance/comfort in knowing i am not the only one who has had this happen to.
