I would definitely tell your doctor. Although it may be nothing to worry about, it's better safe to check. Also, cleaning chemicals tend to dry out the air so your nose may have cracked just due to dryness. Best of luck and be careful! Get your husband to help with high areas, no more climbing.

Well, the fall probably didnt affect anything because the baby is really protected in there. However if you think the cleaning products were THAT strong to make your nose bleed then you shouldnt be using them! Tell your doc about all of it. They will advise you use a little more common sense.

Anytime you have a fall when you are pregnant you need to atleast notify you DR. The nose bleed could be from several different things as well. Example if you was really worried and stressed about the fall it may have made your blood pressure go up and that can cause a nose bleed.

First of all, stay away from the cleaning chemicals, dont change the kitty litter, dont paint anything, and try not to fall anymore. I would call the dr just to be safe, but my nose bled every day for about 6 months. Its just one of those things that some moms get and some moms dont.

anytime you fall when pregnant, you should go to a dr. Something you might not notice can be picked up by the dr.
I was about 5 mos pregnant and my hubby and I had just finished building a snowman (we are from texas...now in colorado...snow is a novelty) at 4am. We were walking back into our apartment and I slipped and fell hard on the ice onto my backside. It hurt like heck. I decided just to keep an eye on myself. The next morning though, I wasn't feeling the baby move as much. We went to the dr and they monitored my. We ended up being fine, but it's never something you want to ignore. Good luck, sweetie.

You shouldnt be around the fumes, but it is very common for a pregnant womens nose to bleed. I wouldnt worry unless you have cramps.

Nosebleeds are common during pregnancy, don't worry. Try not to use harmful cleaners though, just to be on the safe side. Almost everything can be cleaned with natural things such as lemon juice, baking soda and white vinegar. Take care of yourself and baby.

The nosebleed was probably from the fumes. You can always call your OB's office and talk to a nurse if you're worried. Explain what happened and then see what they say. When you're pregnant it is always better safe than sorry. I learned that my first time around and almost lost the baby because of it.

Talk to your doctor. Start using nontoxic cleaning products like Method Brand to avoid exposure to chemicals.

Definitely tell your Dr. When your pregnant you make double the blood so it is easier to bleed, I'm sure your fine though.
