Nose Bleeds

I'm getting to tired of these nosebleeds! I'm prone to them prior to pregnancy and now I'm getting atleast 1 a day, sometimes 2. Today I had to go to my ENT specialist because I couldn't get my nose to stop bleeding, he used a sticky antibiotic gel around the inside of my nose to stop it but suggested I talk with my OB about getting the ok to get it cauterized.

Anyone else having this problem too?

    Yikes!

    Pregnant or nor, I never get nosebleeds but lately I can smell and taste blood when I flip my hair over to dry it. No actual bleeding though.

    I don't have "nosebleeds" in the traditional sense but for the last few months every time I blow my nose it's bloody, usually dry though. It's super gross!

    Ditto to PPs, I haven't had actually nosebleeds but everytime I blow my nose there is blood. I tried using a humidifier at night and it seems to help a little.

    I'm very prone to nosebleeds so I keep a humidifier running in my bedroom. I'm tempted to spend the money and get a whole home humidifier though because I'm still having them frequently and if my nose isn't bleeding, there's still blood when I blow my nose.

    Ditto humidifiers and this may sound gross but coat the inside of your nose with vaseline/bacitracin before you go to sleep and it will help keep those delicate membranes from breaking.

    I've got a humidifier in our bedroom, and I use something like vaseline around the insides of my nose already and none of its helped.

    My nose just has dried blood in it all the time.  Its pretty gross.  My dr. put me on Rhinocort nasal spray for allergies and the nosebleeds stopped after that.
