Nose bleeds?!

Question

I use to have nose bleeds really bad a few years ago but I haven't had them for a good while now.
I'm 8w3d and this morning when I woke up I itched my nose and dried up blood from a nose bleed came out on my hand.
Is this normal for pregnancy?!
Really concerned.
I've been having really bad sinuses.

Answer

Normal. Your mucus membranes swell causing capillaries to be closer to the surface and making it easier to bleed. Plus the extra blood and fluid volume.

Answer

Ugh I was getting nosebleeds quite a bit during my first trimester and now it seems they’re coming back in the third-totally normal. My midwife said as long as it’s not gushing for a long period, totally fine (which would be the same if you aren’t pregnant). If your nose starts to gush, won’t stop bleeding, or you’re starting to get light headed she said go to the ER (again, would be similar if you weren’t pregnant).

Answer

Yupp. I rarely got nosebleeds before pregnancy and now I get one every day or two.

Answer

I’m still in my first trimester so the worst was on Christmas morning when I threw up my banana and got a bloody nose T the same time! That was definitely a new experience

Answer

I’m right there with you! Have had chronic nosebleeds since I was about 8 years old but they have been better for the past 6-7 years. But now with pregnancy they have come back with a vengeance. Still not the worse I my life (as a kid they would last 30 minutes to an hour+ and now about 20-30 minutes is being the norm)
But I have been told this is a common pregnancy symptom, and the dry weather I am experiencing in San Diego is def not helping. I’m so afraid to sneeze!!!!

Answer

Apparently it’s normal...my nose bleeds just about every time I blow my nose. Ugh.
