    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!

    I got this too.

    I've also read that it is common to have bleeding from your gums after brushing teeth, but I haven't had that (yet). All for the same reason: increased blood flow and some hormonal stuff (isn't it all just hormonal stuff) that makes the little blood vessels burst easier.

    Nothing to worry about, just annoying.
