blood nose?

[Bun]

Yes, I got it too! Apparently the increased blood flow while you are preggers can cause the fine blood vessels in your nose to rupture easily, causing blood noses. I got heaps while I was pregnant and don't usually. Funnily, my mum did too while she was pregnant. I know it's annoying but it will stop once your little bub makes it appearance!

Thanks everyone - i wasn't too freaked as i had heard that we have blood closer to the surface ??? or something like that so i figured it was something associated.

just disgusting and embarressing if in public

Hmm, I doubt many people will be checking out your snotty tissue once you're done, so I'd say most people won't even notice

i've had a really stuffy nose for a few weeks now and then the last couple of days i've had some blood when i've blown my nose too. i was wondering what it was from, thanks.

I used to get spontaneous nose bleeds that sometimes took a while to settle, often at work which was a pain!!

Hey there,
I started having nose bleeds when i was about 8 weeks it something to do with increased blood flow and your capilleries they stopped a few weeks later.
I also read that its a symptom of second trimester to get a "stuffy" nose and i also have had these "membranes" when ive blown my nose. its gross. I mentioned it to my doctor at last appt and she said not to be too worried and that its common.

I've been having this too..but I have a yucky mucousy problem anyway when not pregnant, and often have a lot to 'cough up' from my throat when I wake up, and when I have dairy etc, so it freaked me out seeing blood when I coughed in the morning..then I noticed that I had blood when I blew my nose and bit later the cough was clear and 'normal' for me. but yes I understand freaking out a bit at it at first!
