I keep having nosebleeds!

Hi guys!
I keep having nosebleeds! It's every single day and the other night I had one in my sleep, it had pooled in the back of my throat and clotted so I woke up choking and gagging :sick:

I had nosebleeds a lot as a child and had my nose cauterised , so I know how to deal with them and they don't panic me. But it's getting ridiculous! Is it worth telling the midwife?
I'm 37+3 and my 38 weeks appointment is cancelled so I feel silly calling up and saying I keep getting nosebleeds. My blood pressure is on the low side of normal but nothing they've been concerned about there.

Sometimes it's multiple times a day, too! Today's was quite heavy and I'm generally feeling a bit unwell anyway (Not coldy or fought, just rundown)

I had them throughout my pregnancy (and like you had had bad ones in childhood). Consultant said it was normal (was seeing them about something else) and I’ve seen other threads on here that confirm plenty of people have them. But always speak to your midwife if you’re worried.

I got them a lot and was told it was normal but they stopped in later pregnancy for me. I’d ring to put your mind at rest and it might be that they need to check your BP again. I think late pregnancy is a time when you should call if you have a question, don’t feel bad for accessing the services, it’s what they’re there for.
