Did any of you experience burst blood vessels during/after giving birth?

[Anonymous]

I am not a mother yet nor am I pregnant, but I do have very weak blood vessels and capillaries. I have had multiple laser treatments over the years and I am only in my early 20’s.

I know that women should not close their eyes too much during childbirth because it can result in red eyes/ broken capillaries in the eye.

What I did not know is that the pressure of childbirth can result in many broken/burst capillaries on your face and chest.

Because of my history, I find this a bit scary. I do want to have children but I do not want to mess with my already weak blood vessels.

Has anyone experienced this whilst or after giving birth? How did you resolve it? Treatment or did it go away on its own?

Nope. Never allowed a pregnancy to come to it's natural conclusion.

I have heard of this happening especially from pushing hard. Some moms get popped vessels in their eyes making them red

That's creepy

Appreciate the input

Yes I had also heard about the vessels in your eyes (hence not closing your eyes too much during childbirth), but never the capillaries in your face and chest.

Do you know if it heals? Because I find it quite scary.

I think it goes away a few days after birth
