What Causes Bleeding In Nose During Pregnancy?
My husband & I had tycoon this past month after my mirena removal..I have almost all the pregnancy symptoms except for I had a regular period & I don t have sore breasts. I have been pregnant once before 20 months ago & I had 3 regular periods while pregnant with him. I took 4 hpts & 3 were before my missed period & the last 4 days past my period start date I was 6 days late with all neg. hpts & when i started it was lighter than normal & then kinda got heavier. I don t think I m preg. but I still have almost all the symptoms so what else could be wrong. I ve even been having nose bleeds & that s what scared me bc I NEVER get those except when I was preg.? Could I have a sickness or something? I m 22 yrs., high 5 4 & 170lbs. Med. history I have vertigo for 7yrs & used to have 2 kinds of eating disorders & I was put on Zoloft 8 months ago I wasn t myself so I was taken off of it & I m doing so much better being off of it for 4 months now. Please help. :) & thanks so much!

Hello dear,
Minor nose bleeding is common in pregnancy.
It is due to hormonal changes: estrogen and progesterone dilate delicate superficial nose vein.
Bleeding generally stops after delivery of baby as hormonal changes reverts back to normal.
If it is is minor/less, just you can stop by yourself by method mention below:
1. Sit down, pinch your nose just above nostrils for 15-20 minutes
2. Relive after 15 minutes and again after 5 minutes pinch it again till the bleeding stops
3. Take breath through mouth.
4. Do not blow through nose
5. Apply cold pack on your nose: it constricts your nose blood vessels
6. Do not lie down flat and avoid strenuous exercise like weight lifting.
If it is excessive bleeding and occur frequently.
Consult with doctor and you can advised to deliver by cesarean rather than normal delivery.
Hope this may help you.
Wish you good health.
Bets regards
