Slapstick pregnancy

[panic_absent]

I've been having more nose bleeds than I ever thought humanly possible since I've been pregnant. Which is not that many, I guess, but since I hadn't had even one since I was a child... well, it's been a lot. Then, 2 1/2 weeks ago, I got a head cold, and found myself in the delightful situation of weighing up the likelihood of a nose stuffed up

Pregnancy is definitely the classiest time of life, eh? Those friggin' leg cramps! It's so hard not to yell out when I get one at night, and try to be quiet when I get one in bed at night, hahahaha!

Sorry about your nose! I've always been a nose bleeder, and it is way grosser having a nose full of blood than a nose full of snot. I hate when it gets all blood-crusty, but whenever you try and get out any of the dried shit, it starts you bleeding all over again! Grrr!

Oh gawd, I HATE those cramps! I mostly get them in my feet (and usually while I'm sleeping...grrr) but holy crap they suck!

Your situation is funny to read, I have to admit. I am glad you're ok, as is your computer! LOL

By the way, just for reference...the American Red Cross now advises to pinch just the front of your nose (not the hard bone, but the softer cartilage in the front) and tip the head forward instead of back. It keeps you from swallowing the blood or gagging, and stops the bleeding faster. Just thought you might want to know. I work in a caregiving field, and have had First Aid/ CPR for nearly 16 years now, so it gets blasted into my brain regularly.

Glad you added the ARC info was going to do that.

Hope you feel better soon love!
