Nose bleeds

[Ava2877]

Hi ladies, are nose bleeds normal while pregnant. I've had 3 so far and it's all happening during my third trimester? Should I be worried?

Oddly, I haven't gotten nose bleeds during pregnancy, but I used to get them all the time as a kid. I would put vasoline on a cotton swab and rub it on the inside of my nose, because the bleeding came from the super thin skin there, which would dry and crack. Might be worth a try.

I just try to be very gentle when I blow my nose or itch my nose.  Hard to do during allergy season.... I haven't found much else I can do to stop them, unfortunately.

I've had 3 nose bleeds as well since I've been in my 3rd trimester. I'm almost 38 weeks and they started around 30 weeks

Thank you for your responses moms:) what do you do  your nose bleeds to stop it?

I've had nose bleeds since mid-second trimester. (35w now) It's normal and is because of increased blood flow and swollen membranes. Nothing to worry about.

Its because you have more blood volume during pregnancy. I haven't had nose bleeds but my gums bleed when brushing my teeth. Its the same reason why.

I've heard they're normal, though I never experienced any myself.
