I've had two nosebleeds since, but none quite as bad as the first - and they both happened in the shower, so easy clean-up at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1365271 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 18:24:38 +0000 gilmoregirl 1365271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's a thing. I usually get the bloody snot like everyone else is mentioning, but I will get drips and drops too. My coworker had nosebleeds all the time while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364919 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:19:13 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1364919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got them all the time when pregnant. Super annoying! I had them as a child though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364908 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 16:15:11 +0000 JessKas 1364908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a nosebleed in my life until I got pregnant. I got a fair number of gushers! It's a weird symptom, but relatively common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364836 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:57:55 +0000 sandy 1364836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard nosebleeds are common during pregnancy too. I almost never have nosebleeds (not since I was a kid) and I had several during my pregnancy and the blood in the tissue like others said when just blowing my nose </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364804 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:47:39 +0000 LovelyPlum 1364804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had blood every time I blow my nose, but no nosebleeds. My gums, on the other hand, are a different story. They bleed all the time!</p> <p>If you don't want to wait 3 weeks, you could always phone in your doctor. They are usually happy to answer questions like this over the phone, even before your first appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364788 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:42:47 +0000 whodat 1364788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also had blood when I blow my nose but no actual nosebleeds. But getting a nosebleed makes sense if it's really dry out because it's caused by the blood vessels being wacky (what @pui said). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364786 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:41:49 +0000 nana87 1364786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>similar to spaniellove, my nosebleeds aren't usually gushing, or if they are it's just a little bit (like, it stops in less than a minute), but I've been very, very stuffed up and it's almost always mostly blood (except one week when I had a legit cold) when I blow my nose. It seems normal from what I've read: pregnancy causes everything to swell, including your sinuses and nasal passages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364759 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:25:26 +0000 spaniellove 1364759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a gushing nosebleed, but have noticed that every time I blow my nose (which is often now) there is a fair amount of blood. From what I've read the nosebleeds seem to be a pregnancy thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364747 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:22:53 +0000 pui 1364747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I have heard that blood flow increases in your sinuses as estrogen levels get high during pregnancy (which explains why some people get a stuffed up nose as a pregnancy symptom), so maybe that combined with the dry weather can cause nose bleeds? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-trimester-nose-bleeds#post-1364738 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:18:35 +0000 LatteLove 1364738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO weird but on Saturday night we were at a pizza place for a friend's birthday gathering and my nose started gushing. Thankfully I knew the feeling and rushed to the bathroom before causing what looks like a homicide scene.</p> <p>It was one of my worst, but the weird thing is, I haven't had a nose bleed since I lived in the midwest five years ago. Friends were telling me that the air has been really dry in SoCal lately (where I live now), but it gets dry all the time and I hadn't had one in five years.</p> <p>Talking to my sister she said she had about 8 nosebleeds in her 1st and 2nd trimesters. (I'm 5w3d) I'm going to talk to my dr about it in three weeks, but has anyone else had this weird pregnancy symptom?</p> <p>It takes me ten minutes and lots of ice to stop it - they are annoying! </p>
