WTF nose?

[hollberry]

This is my 3rd bloody nose since I woke up. The 2nd one I got in the car and had to drive around with Kleenex in my nose

Is it from an irritated lining? I put Vaseline on the inside of my nose when that happens....of course if it is from deeper then you'll want saline spray. Yuck. Sorry.

Nose bleeds are normal in pregnancy...especially in this weather. I'm kind of a nose bleed queen. I've gotten them since i was a kid. Like once a week at least. Total nonsense.

The best method for me to stop the bleeding is as follows:

Take a small piece of paper towel And twist it up super tight. Lift up your upper lip and tuck the paper towel inside. Use your fingers to push it up as far as it can go. It will literally be just under the bottom of your nose - just under your lip. It will create pressure. 99% of the time it stops the bleeding for me in 2 mins.

Also a small amount of vaseline applied to the inside of your nose will help keep the area from getting overly dry as mentioned. I wouldn't do this every day but maybe once or twice a week.

A humidifier running throughout the night does wonders! It helps me tremendously

This has been happening to me lately too and I never got nosebleeds before being pregnant. I now put Vaseline in my nostrils before going to sleep and that helps.

@ketchup, you're going to be an awesome mom!!

It was more of the random nose bleed while driving that had me scrambling for wads of Kleenex to shove up my nose. I have kicked up the humidifier and will try the Vaseline thing tonight.
Thanks ladies for your words of wisdom. Another glorious side effect of pregnancy
