I thought I would share this interesting bit of advice/treatment for some 3rd trimester discomforts of pregnancy. I swear since I have been pregnant this time (3rd time) I have lost all dignity when it comes to my bodily functions. Well, I guess if I kept my mouth shut and didn't share stuff with the whole world I might still have some dignity left :) Anyways.......
I found this advice/treatment on one of the pregnancy websites.
Specific treatment options for hemorrhoids during pregnancy may include: I just know you all were wondering the answer to this question.
1. Ice packs (for external hemorrhoids) applied for 10 to 15 minutes three or four times a day. Okay now tell me how do you apply the ice pack to the actual hemorrhoids????? That seems a little awkward and uncomfortable, don't you think????
2. Warm baths four or five times a day for 20 to 30 minutes. Okay, honestly, who has time to take 4-5 baths a day, even without kids. Is having hemorrhoids grounds to stop all daily routines and sit in the bath all day. I would love to meet any woman who follows this advice.
So those of you reading this, I bet you are so glad you did. Ha! Ha! Yes, Jessica needs to get a life and learn what to and not to share with the world.

This is one reason why you are so great! You can talk about anything!
I read one pregnancy book that said that it would put you into labor if you "stimulated your nipples" for 5-6 hours per day. I wondered the same thing. What person in the WORLD had that type of time on their hands?!
No Jess, actually that is what people like about you...you say what we are all thinking:)
