Nose bleeds?

[jesskeeka]

I'm not normally prone to these but today my nose has been gushing out blood on and off none stop. Is this normal??

I'm five weeks pregnant with my third child and I never had this problem with my other two but this pregnancy I have been having nose bleeds.  I have heard its common.

I know right!!  Mine was bad  to bleed during the winter. A humidifier at night can help also

Petroleum jelly that's interesting!! I do drink an average of 5 or more litres a day of water, that's not including occasional juice and lactose free milk... Man the things our bodies go though!!

Yes it's very normal. When your pregnant your body produces extra blood. Try staying hydrated more, if you have to sneeze do it with your mouth open so you don't have much pressure on your nose and try rubbing petroleum jelly around insides of your nose to keep it moist.
