I have the post nasal drip at the moment (morning chunks, anyone?) but not during pregnancy.
The frequent blood noses I can relate to those - I had those both pregnancies.
Apparently the mucosa membranes thin all over during pregnancy - including in the nose - and this leads to it in some extra special women like us. Mine were awful, and I had almost permanent scabs up in there, because they would just bleed, then heal over a tiny layer, which would itch, and come right out next time I needed to blow my nose or sneeze, etc. Very annoying, and actually quite sore.
Mine cleared up maybe 2-6 weeks after each birth. Not much help for you now, but my nose did go back to normal reasonably quickly.
Sorry about the post nasal drip though. It's a nightmare.
It makes me feel like I have pneumonia, because it gets so heavy on the lungs, and the coughing/vomiting is a *****.
