nose bleeds

[joda]

Anyone else suffering nose bleeds? I occassionally get them, but since being put on iron tablets I'm waking up nearly every morning with one and they can repeat several times a day. They're always short and don't hurt, just wondered if I should be worried? Thanks

Is there any particular time "roughly" when they start as sometimes when im doing some housework at home if i let my body temperature get a bit high i get a bit of blood from my nose. I only notice it when i clear my nose ( like blowing it) & its not painful or anything just a Lil inconvient.

same her. Its not inconvenient or in anyway painful. apart from when first wake up there doesn't seem to be another trigger. wondering if its the extra iron but not sure. Gonna get it checked anyway, nothings been right with me since day 1 whilst the babys been fine. Want to keep that way so another phone call to make. thanks x

I've had blood from nose majority of pregnancy to date, it's normal with increasing circulating blood, bit like when your gums bleed too with gestational gingivitis. I've never worried unless your think volume is enough to contribute to general anaemia x

Nose bleeds and sneezing is actually normal and common in pregnancy.. I had it when I was pregnant.. It's just because of all the extra blood flow around your body.. But if you are concerned speak to your midwife x

midwife said is normal, not to worry unless get one that doesn't stop, so I'm not worrying. Thanks for advice, nice to know not the only one having them.

i get really bad nose bleeds. ive tried antibiotic cream that goeso n your inner nostril. but it doesnt help. doctor said he couldnt see up them last time as it was full of blood. when i get a nose bleed i have a few in the morning. feel dizzy and sometimes i do faint. then ill get the odd one or two throughout the day.

their nothing to panic about. its common in pregnancy. x
