Nosebleeds anyone?

I'm currently a little over 25 weeks along.  In the last few weeks, I've had several nosebleeds!  I'd literally be sitting on the couch or in the shower, and my nose starts bleeding out of nowhere.  They normally only last 5-10 minutes, but yesterday I had one that wouldn't stop for 20 minutes!  I've read they can be common in pregnancy and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I also get nose bleeds when i get upset or so, make sure your platelates are normal, usually the Blood counts gets a little crazy and you bleed for a few min,but lots of Doct said that is normal.

I had my first nose bleed yesterday. It's wasn't bad. I just got back into colorado from florida so I was thinking it was the change from humidity to dry. I had no idea bloody noses were common in pregnancy!
