bloody nose today, do I remember right that this is common in pg?

I didn't have this with dd and haven't had a bloody nose in a long long time. I'm visiting family and I'm thinking maybe it's just dry in the house but not sure.

It can be common. I have had a dry nose, pregnancy congestion and nose bleeds for most of my pregnancy. I use saline mist and that seems to hep with the dryness. Also, a little neosporin or petroleum jelly on a swab up your nose can help if they are frequent. Sounds gross but it helps me. I hope you fell better soon.

Yep common. I use to get them with one of my pregnancies, but none of the others. I use to wake up with one about every other day. It could be where your visiting is extra dry, but if it keeps up sleeping with a humidifire helps great too.

yes, it's common. I had one last week.

Can be pretty common with increase blood volume overall. I have a humidifier at the bedside and it really helps me breath easier esp at nighttime.

Lol a teacher at school (who is due any day now) had to run out of the classroom on multiple occasions for random bloody noses regularly. She is doing just fine. Her doctor just mentioned the increased blood flow.
