Anyone else had problems with their noses?

Mine has been bleeding quite often the last few weeks. Not gushing blood or anything, more like a little trickle which normally stops in a few minutes.

I'm just wondering if its got anything to do with the pregnancy, maybe cause my body is hotter than normal or if its just my sinus playing up worse than normal?

Yeah the inside of my nose is swollen too.. Gross..

I get this and have done since the 1st tri. Apparently its normal. Seek advice if there is lots of blood loss or it carries on for too long.

Its not a lot of blood so I'm not too worried. Am considering going to a doc just to get it checked out, rather safe than sorry. Its mostly my right nostril and is definitely worse when its hot.

Thanks for the replies!

Nose bleeds are a very common symptom of pregnancy hun, i get them ALL the time at the moment. And sometimes they are quite bad and last a few minutes. But i'm not bothered because my midwife said how common it is and its in all my pregnancy books too.
Just another fun symptom. xxx

yep i get this too, its a pregnancy thing. i think with me the blood vessels just pops or something coz i feel like i need to blow and then there is blood but it doesnt gush out. oh the joys!

Yeah I get some, mostly at nights. Only lasts a few minutes each time but it's really annoying.

Think it's another one of those lovely pregnancy side effects!

You guys have just made me feel a lot better about it. Its a side effect that I hadn't heard about, but then I don't read any books or anything.

I'm so scared of something going wrong that the smallest thing worries me :-)

Probably a lot to do with your sinuses. I've noticed my nose is a lot more ummm dried out for lack of a better way to say it, which can cause nosebleeds.
