Common in pregnancy: Women often have hemorrhoids in pregnancy. Sitz baths (soaking in warm water) is a safe and effective way to soothe your hemorrhoids. You may also want to increase fiber intake in your diet, such as with a fiber supplement. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. If you are bleeding a lot, you should have them checked out by your doctor.
