its very common. Your system is running rampant with hormones which screw up everything. In pregnancy, almost everything is normal when it comes to digestion.

Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.
An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.
Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

Yes it is common to have more bowel movements in day this is a sign of good nutrition. If you are consuming the recommended water intake per day (6-8 glasses) you will have more movements. That is a good thing.

Yes, you are taking in more food when pregnant, so it's normal to have more bowel movements. During the first trimester, constipation is more common due to the additional progesterone produced. As long as your bowel movements are not hard, to which they may cause hemorrhoids or diarrhea, then you have nothing to worry about.

Hemorrhoids are swollen and inflamed veins in the anal canal. They can be itchy, bleeding and/or painful protrusions just under the skin. To get rid of hemorrhoids you can use this natural method that already have thousands of positive reviews https://tr.im/wmf8L
There are two types internal and external. Internal are inside the anal canal in the lower rectum and external are at the anus. They result from increased pressure in the veins often due to straining during bowel movements and during pregnancy. Scratching in an attempt to relieve the itching symptoms further weakens the area and compounds the problem.

Your body is getting full of baby. Your stomach will be getting smaller, you will want to eat smaller meals, and the baby is taking up space in your abdomen leaving less room for your bowels. . so yeah

The baby is taking up room in your body. You have less room to store bowl and food. You are going more because you are eating more too. Congratulations on the Baby!!
