Nose bleeds

[StarsAllAround]

Anyone else experience nose bleeds and any advice on how to stop one coming? I ask as I have had a few in at the worst possible times recently, one while managing hearing were I could not get up from my seat (I work in a court) and one just now on a bus had no tissues so had to use a glove and recipient to clean myself up!

I've been having frequent nose bleeds since the beginning of pregnancy. It's better now in the 3rd trimestre, it happens only occasionally. I don't have any advice on how to manage it as no one I know has had it in their pregnancies. I've been told by medical professionals that it's normal and nothing to worry about. The worst one I've experienced was in a restaurant 😂. It's annoying that it always happens when we least expect it.

Oh how interesting. I had one for the first time in my life at 13 weeks and just assumed it was because I blew my nose a lot before. Didn't think it might be an increased pregnancy thing - so many sneaky side effects I never knew about. That's so annoying you've had 3 and sorry no idea how to stop one but guess yet more things to carry with you at all times just in case xx

apparently they’re really common. I had nose bleeds in my pregnancy. I don’t remember ever having a nosebleed otherwise.

I had them often and there’s no way to stop them you just have to deal with them. I think I was at a point of getting them once a week and it continued for quite a while. I think it got better in the third trimester but can’t quite remember. Just carry tissues with you at all times.
