How to stop a nose bleed?

[NatalieJane]

I don't normally get nose bleeds, last one was when I was pregnant with DS, I am now 38 weeks with no.2 and woke up with a heavy nose bleed this morning. I am not worried about the bleed itself and it has slowed down now, but, and sorry for TMI, I can feel/taste it running down the back of my throat and it is horrible.

Any ideas how I can stop it?

you musnt put your head back

lean over a bowl, the sink, a towel and pinch the soft bit o fyour nose at the top where it joins your face

then you just have to wait til it stops im afraid

dont blow your nose for a few hours or itll start again

Thanks, but it isn't really pouring anymore, it is just every now and then I can feel it down my throat - sorry I know it is gross. It must be right at the back of my nose anyway because I'm not sat with my head tilted back or anything.

Oops sorry for the triple post
