Firstly let me say that haemorrhoids in pregnancy are very common.

They are caused by pressure from your enlarging uterus, beginning around week 25, plus increased blood flow to the pelvic area, which causes the veins in the rectal wall to swell, bulge and itch.

Constipation can aggravate, or even cause, haemorrhoids (when a stool is hard, the extra straining you'll need to eliminate it, puts pressure on the veins in your rectal area and causes them to swell and bulge).

They may also develop postpartum as a result of pushing during labour.

But there is some good news I'm pleased to say. There's a lot you can do to treat them, they may or may not go away after the birth.
