I have had the craziest and most macabre pregnancy side affects over the past 2 weeks. It actually started pretty far back with some not so terrible bloody noses. No big deal, I can handle a couple of minor nose bleeds every week. This turned into having gushing scenes of blood everywhere. I'll wake up and look like I killed poor Adam sleeping next to me. My OB has assured me that its normal, and its just extra hormones coupled with the dry, cool weather, but it is so gross! What is my sweet baby boy doing to me?!? We're sticking with dark colored pillow cases for a while.
The next side affect was actually a little scarier. I've had a mole ever since I was born. It's never bothered me and I've never bothered it. Out of nowhere it starts to grow and bleed! Scary stuff when you consider the outlook after googling growing, bleeding mole. I made an appointment with a dermatologist (who just like my overworked OB,) said it was probably nothing, but they shaved it right off anyway and sent it in for a biopsy. Thank God everything came back normal, but it was scary to run through your head the different scenarios of what if it doesn't come back normal. Crazy preggo hormones are turning my body into an oozing egg just waiting to hatch the monster in side of me, (Mommy doesn't really mean that Isaac.) Needless to say, I no longer have my life long companion - the mole. It was all definitely worth my peace of mind to get it checked out. Hopefully, we'll have no more crazy symptoms, but I seriously doubt that this was the last of my frantic calls to the OB. Poor Dr. Meek!

How bizarre! I have never heard of nose bleeds as a pregnancy side effect, and I have to say I am not at all sorry to have missed out on that one! Hope everything starts to go back to normal for you soon (relatively speaking, of course!).
