Making the decision to have a child is momentous… it is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body.

Bloody pregnancy

I only just got into work now because I have had a horrible blood nose all morning – at one point I wondered if it is possible to bleed to death from a blood nose! I hear that blood noses are a normal pregnancy thing because of having so much extra blood and estrogens. It still sucks though, I have never had one before and it is horrible.

I kept having to change tissues every 30 seconds or so because I would fill them up so quickly. And now I can’t stop smelling blood but I am too scared to blow my nose.

I had to stay home until 9.00 and then it was down to a trickle (after well over an hour of steady blood flow) and then looked like a diseased leaper on the tram because I was holding a bloodied tissue to my nose for the whole trip!

Anyway… the joys!

16 weeks today!

Happy 16 weeks!!!!!

Yes the nose bleeds are just wonderful. And very common. In fact any bleeding i did when pg was big and over the top. Try not to cut yourself with a razor when shaving. lol
