Nose bleeds..help

Nose bleeds..help

Hi ladies, I just have a question for you all.... I am currently 6 days late for my what is usually a regular period, I tested earlier in the week and it was negative but I have all of the symptoms. My fiance has been gone for work for 4 days and when he comes home we will be going to the Dr. for a blood test.

Yesterday I had two light/moderate nose bleeds which is rare for me bc I haven't been prone to nose bleeds, ever.
This morning at 2:50 am I woke up with what I thought was a runny nose and quickly found out that it was infact my nose bleeding again. This nose bleed was what I would classify as a heavy nose bleed that lasted for between 15-20 minutes ( I wasn't really keeping track of the time but I know it was atleast 15-20 minutes) From what I understand nose bleeds can be quite common in pregnancy due to the increase of blood flow and what not but my question is for anyone who has experienced this is.. How often would you get them and were they light- moderate- or heavy nose bleeds. I am not sure whether to embrace it as another symptom of pregnancy or to be worried from it.

When i was pregnant, I got 2 nose bleeds. They were both light. I never get nose bleeds and these may have been my first. My sister who is more prone to them in general had heavy nose bleeds when pregnant. I think it depends on the person and their natural pre desposition to nose bleeds. Baby dust

I got them a lot, but only during winter months.  With this current pregnancy I have gotten light bleeds but nothing major compared to my first (My first was born May 1st, and I'm being induced on Oct 11th).  With my first pregnancy I got them at least once a week, and they got better when I used a humidifier.

I had nosebleed with my first pregnancy where I took the morning off work because I couldn't stand due to the loss of blood, I think it went on for a solid 30-45 min, it stopped when I was about to call the dr.  I can't remember what else I tried, but I know I tried a few things, the humidifier was the only thing that helped lessen them.  I also only get one nose bleed a year in the winter, never more (unless I'm pregnant).  This pregnancy about a month ago I started to get them but just mild so far as it's not THAT cold out yet.

I had nosebleeds almost every day with my first pregnancy-- it sounds like a fairly common symptom!  
Funny, cuz that was with my daughter, and I never had ANY nosebleeds during my pregnancies with my 3 boys.
Good luck!  Hope you get he results you are waiting for....
