So i've had a cold since like tuesday and for the last few days i've been having lots of nosebleeds. it does happen after i blow my nose (not every time at all) but they can be real gushers, its gross. i'm kinda worried about going out tonight because it will be so mortifying to get a nosebleed in front of a whole party full of people. Also is it anything to be concerned about while preggo? I never got them before.

I usually never get them either and earlier today, I had to blow my nose and there was a tiny bit of blood. Weird. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though.

Your nose gets dryer when you are PG. Try some saline nasal spray, I had to use it because my nose was so stuffed up I couldn't breath when I was PG!!

Run a humidifier at night if you aren't already. It helps a ton. And if you don't have one, get a cold air humidifier. You will need it when baby arrives anyways....I got an elephant hahaha.

They're common during pregnancy, or so I'm told. Sorry, it's still not fun

My nose bleed almost daily while pregnant . Humidifiers helped out a bunch.

I've never had a nosebleed in my life until i got pregnant.

I have them daily now. Though they aren't bad.

I get them often too! Think it's pretty normal for pregnancy.

I had never had one in my life either until pregnancy. Mine didn't last very long.

good call on the humidifier! i will see if my dh will buy me one today. we had an old one but we could never find a filter for it and i think we gave it to SIL and she soemhow makeshifted it to use when payne was sick.

ok so glad i'm not alone!! my dh was like so grossed out when he witnessed one the other day lol i had told him it was going on but i think he thought i was faking!

Mine didn't really bleed like flowing blood but I did have blood in the kleenex quite often.

I get them during pregnancy too. I have a funny nosebleed story too. At work I was about 6 months preggo and I was with a kid who is potty training, well, he turned towards me and peed all over me, through his clothes and everything. And then my nose started bleeding, so I am trying to clean pee, chage him, and deal with a nosebleed all at the same time! So, it happens, but they don't last long for me. Just keep tissues with you, and if it happens just excuse yourself to the bathroom and stay there until it stops if you don't want anyone to notice.

Increased blood flow (EVERYWHERE!) lol, easier to get dehydrated (chap lips/dry mouth/dry nose), and swelling of the nasal cavity....... all things preggo related that can make your nose bleed!
Drink water, humidifyer, and always have a change of shirt in the car and a hanky with you

Ditto to what everyone else said....I also got them often while pregnant - especially with Harrison!
