Another nasal congestion q
I'm roughly 7 weeks at the moment, but have experienced nasal congestion at
night .... as well as some slight bleeding in one nostril (in the sinus part and not the actual nostril). I am not prone to nose bleeds, and my BP was fine when it was last checked. I have been using saline drops for the congestion - works perfectly - but the bleeding has me a little concerned. Any ideas? Amanda -- DD 15th August 2002 1 tiny angel Nov 2003 EDD 18th August 2004 |

Any ideas? Amanda IIRC, nosebleeds are quite common during pregnancy. I think it has something to do with the extra volume of blood. I know I had a few and I never get them normally.

The pregnancy hormones do something to your veins or blood that makes it easier to bleed. For the same reason you can suddenly have bleeding gums every time you brush your teeth. As long as it is minor things, there is no reason to worry about it. Keeping your nose moist is the best you can do. -- -- I mommy to DS (17m) mommy to a tiny angel (Oct 2003) guardian of DH (33) TTC #2.5 War doesn't decide who's right, only who's left |

It has yet to run out, but when I blow my nose, I can see the blood. Nothing to worry about, really. It is quite normal. However, if you are concerned, you should talk to your doctor or midwife. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |

If you blow your nose and you see blood, it can also be a sign of infection. If there are any other symptoms, then a trip to your doctor might be a good idea. I've read that vaseline will help with mild nosebleeds by keeping the skin moist. I haven't used it for that purpose, but I have used it to help stop my nose from dripping all night long (it really does seem to help with that). |

I have never had nosebleeds in my LIFE until this pregnancy! I had one at
the Vet's office once, when dropping off my dog. Wouldn't you know it, now I'm known there as "Nose-Bleed Lady." LOL Sk "Vicky Bilaniuk" wrote in message ...
