Having a blocked nose or nose bleeds are quite common in pregnancy. I am sure the midwife and Doctors will keep an eye on you and baby.

Perhaps if you speak to someone about breathing techniques it might help you feel better and less worried about labour and breathing.

I totally understand why you would be feeling anxious but I think it is important we remember that C Sections are supposed to be used as an intervention when mother or baby may face serious problems, or where a natural birth is not possible. . xx

Hi, my cousin has same problem, she has had 5 operations and has given up now. Her nose is blocked 24/7, she can't taste or smell. To get to the point, she delivered naturally with no problems I can't remember who she went to, wether it was midwife or not but she learnt new breathing techniques to help her in her situation and she was fine don't worry about it, all will be fine, if they were worried, they would have said something to you by now x
