Common problem: It won't likely cause any concerning issue during labor or delivery. You do want to make sure the bleeding is definitely from your hemorrhoids and not somewhere else. You also want to make sure you do everything to minimize worsening hemorrhoids which means making sure your consuming fiber, not straining on the toilet and possibly utilizing stool softeners and/or laxatives if necessary.
