Constipation (another common problem during�pregnancy) can also cause or aggravate�hemorrhoids because you tend to strain when having a hard bowel movement, and straining leads to�hemorrhoids. During�pregnancy, progesterone relaxes the walls of your veins, allowing them to swell more easily. Here are some ways to prevent hemorrhoids when you're pregnant: Avoid becoming constipated�by eating a high-fiber diet (that includes plenty of�whole grains,�beans,�fruits, and vegetables), drinking about 10 8-ounce cups�water�a day, and getting regular�exercise�(as long as your provider says it's okay). If you're already constipated, ask your healthcare provider about taking a fiber supplement or using a stool softener. Don't wait to go�when you feel the urge to have a bowel movement, and try not to strain. Don't sit on the toilet�longer than necessary because this puts pressure on your rectal area. Do�Kegel exercises�daily.�Kegels increase circulation in the rectal area and strengthen the muscles around the anus, reducing the chance of hemorrhoids. They also strengthen and tone the muscles around the vagina and urethra, which can help your body recover after you give birth. Don't sit or stand for long stretches�of time. If your job involves sitting at a desk, get up and move around for a few minutes every hour or so. At home, lie on your side when sleeping, reading, or watching TV to take the pressure off your rectal veins and increase blood return from the lower half of your body.
