Q. I know that a bloody nose is normal during pregnancy but when its everyday and runny sometimes could this be a sign of high blood pressure?
A. If you can't get the bleeding stopped within 10 minutes and the nose bleeds happen frequently each day, then contact your doctor.

Here's an excerpt from the article on how to avoid nose bleeds:
Can I do anything to avoid getting a nosebleed?
� Drink extra fluids to help keep all of your mucous membranes well hydrated.
� Blow your nose gently. Aggressive blowing can lead to nosebleeds.
� Try to keep your mouth open when you sneeze.
� Avoid dry air, especially in wintertime or in dry climates, by running a humidifier inside your house and not overheating your bedroom. Also stay away from irritants like smoke, which you should be avoiding anyway.
� Use a lubricant to prevent nasal dryness. Some experts recommend petroleum jelly. Others suggest a special water-based nasal lubricant that is available over the counter at pharmacies. Saline nasal sprays or drops can help, too.
� Don't overuse medicated nasal sprays or decongestants. They can dry out and further irritate your nose.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes & Congratulations!

A. Yes, usually anything over 100 is considered a fever. Take some Tylenol - safe during pregnancy. It should help your temp go down. Don't worry. Many women get sick and run a fever during pregnancy, as long as you aren't burning up for many days you're fine. Call your doc in the morning if you're still sick.
What kind of acne/facial scrub and facial moisturizer is best during pregnancy?
Q. Like many women, i have been breaking out really bad since I got pregnant, and the cold weather and wind doesn't help very much either. What facial scrub and moisturizer do you use that is safe to use during pregnancy? I've heard that Aveeno is really good, I would just like to get some advice before I spend the money on something, since that stuff is expensive. Thanks a bunch!
A. I was just reading something online at parents.com about how certain facial cleansers and moisturizers are harmful during pregnancy cause they soak into skin and get in blood streams, you need to ask your doc, he may even be able to prescribe you something. With my first my doc told me to wash with a non soap cleanser. Even if its not for your face.
How to treat a urinary tract infection during pregnancy?
Q. My friend in Europe was told by her doctor to take medicine for urinary tract infection and, when I look at this medicine description in English, I see it is contraindicated during pregnancy. Doctor has tried to scare her into taking the medicine, saying such infection could very possibly go to her kidneys and cause terrible troubles. But if a medicine is worse than the disease, what can be done?!
Please, if anyone knows effective and safe treatment for this ailment during pregnancy, do share! Thank you.

A. If you get a UTI during pregnancy, you need to go to your doctor, and take the antibiotics they prescribe you to clear it up. there really is no other way of getting rid of it. you can drink some cranberry juice to help. but that isn't going to take it away. the antibiotics won't hurt your baby. the doctor will prescribe some thing that is safe for use during pregnancy. woman get bladder/ UTI infections all the time during their pregnancy, and they take the medicine. the truth is, that its more dangerous to leave the infection untreated. believe me i know. i had a bladder infection once, and i didn't get it treated for a while, and then it spread to my kidneys, causing a bad kidney infection. it was so terrible. i got so sick. had a severely high fever. I went to the er, and i had to be hospitalized for a couple days. your friend shouldn't put her baby at risk. if she leaves this untreated and it spreads to her kidneys, which it most likely will, then it could risk hurting her baby. tell her to listen to her doctor.
good luck.
good luck.
