I had lots of nose bleeds in my 1st & 2nd trimester. I never bled before! It's gone now, thank god.

i was also getting nosebleeds although they were very gushy so i went to docs and he said it is very common and checked BP and i was slighty raised but not to high just told me to try and take things easy and not get stressed xxxx

My nose doesn't bleed, but there is blood when I blow. It is a combination of the softening that happens in the pregnant body and the massive increase in blood volume. Those vessels are kinda delicate as it is, so they bleed easier. My gums bleed now as well every time I floss. No matter how gentle I am, and I have always been a good flosser, so my gums are used to it, but some nights I spit out a whole mouth full of blood. Just one of the little joys!

Samantha, my gums were bleeding as well a while ago, but I bought a good mouth wash which someone suggested and since then they haven't bled at all.

Maybe speak to your dentist or someone and find out what they suggest.

I got this a lot in the beginning of the 2nd tri, its a pregnancy thing, something to do with all the extra blood were pumping round and pressure or something lol

Ratty, I saw my dentist at the very beginning of my pregnancy, and he said to floss softer, use a good mouthwash, and do what I can. He did say that my mouth looked really good though. If the bleed just suddenly happened, I would really worry, but it started really early for me. I guess my gums are just sensitive.
