This is in Question answer type.

Since my second trimester began I've had several nosebleeds. Why?
Inconvenient and even embarrassing as they can be, nosebleeds are a perfectly normal pregnancy symptom. Your increased blood supply puts pressure on your nose's delicate veins. The membranes inside your nose may also swell and dry out, especially in winter. These changes can cause those veins to rupture quite easily, bringing about minor nosebleeds.


How can I stop a nosebleed?
When your nose bleeds, remain seated and put pressure on the bleeding nostril for at least four minutes. (Don't lie down or tilt your head back: The blood will run into your stomach, which could cause nausea or even vomiting.)
Consult your healthcare practitioner if you frequently have heavy nosebleeds, or if the above measures don't stop the bleeding.

Can I do anything to avoid them?


• Avoid nasal dryness, especially in wintertime or in dry climates, by running a humidifier inside your house and coating the edges of your nose with petroleum jelly.

• Blow your nose gently. Aggressive blowing can lead to nosebleeds.

• Drink extra fluids to help keep all your tissues, including the mucous membranes, well hydrated.

As annoying as a nosebleed can be, it's a temporary problem likely to disappear after you have your baby.


DK replied. Hi,

I havenot suffered with this yet. But I read that in nose bleeding case you should not use any kind of nose-spray. Hold your nose with thumb and fore-finger tightly and sit down for 4-5 mins.

Hopefully this will help.
