Headaches and nosebleeds.

[kirsty1989]

Hiya Ladies, just need your opinion on this. The last few days I have had a nosebleed everyday they dont last long and are not alot but now I'm suffering a massive headache too. I missed my last appt. as they told me the wrong day and now I dont have another till the 1st of oct. I know nosebleeds and headaches can be normal I'm just concerned because of missing that last appt. what if it's high bloodpressure or something and I have to wait that long.

You think I'm just being OTT and need to stop worrying or should I just ring them in the morning to put my mind at rest? Oh and I'm 32 wks.

Thanks for any help.

I had a major nosebleed yesterday and went to the OB.  They told me it was normal because the blood vesseles are more sensitive and pumping more blood.  The Dr. checked the baby's heart beat and size to reassure me mainly and also took a blood sample because of the blood loss to make sure my "levels" were normal.  If you are worried about it being high blood pressure you can go to a local pharmacy and use one of thier test machines, it is deffinately better than stressing and wondering.  If it is showing as high then I would recommend calling the Dr. and trying to get a sooner appt.

I have little nosebleeds here n there, I've been having headaches n migranes my whole pregnancy. I'm 31.2 right now and I get a headache ATLEAST once a day.
Somedays I have headaches where I wake up with one, have it allllll day, go to sleep with one and wake up the next day STILL with one.

It's really bother some but there's nothing else I can take but tylonal and it doesn't help. so I have to deal with it and hope they stop after I have the baby.

it always important to call your dctor if you feel like your having a problem. i doubt they will care and maybe they will get u in a little sooner! no u shouldn't worry. i have had headaches so much since i hit 12 weeks. and nose congestion like crazy. nose bleeds are very common.
