    Hi Sarah, I'm about 15 weeks now and I've also had some horrible nosebleeds - for a while it was every morning when I showered! I noticed my nose was getting congested and very dry during the night and have read that is quite common (and leads to nosebleeds, along with the hormone changes!) If you've also found you've got a dry nose, I found that using Sterimar saline spray has helped me a lot and then in the mornings putting a little dab of vaseline on the skin inside the bottom of my nose. I have still had a few nosebleeds since but not as many. I did speak to a nurse about it when I went for a blood test and she said it was really common so try not to worry but deffo speak to your GP to get some reassurance. Good luck!

    Hi, I had heavy nosebleeds in my second trimester and I was told it's
    very common and nothing to worry about.

    Morning Sarah, I've been getting nose bleeds most mornings when I wake
    up it's started from 26th weeks. I'm now 30 weeks, but at now they
    aren't as intense. The first time it happened I was so scared. But
    speaking to other people they said they had in their pregnancy as well.
    Please dont worry as nose bleeds are normal and can occur in pregnancy.
    I think it's due to hormonal changes. But talk to your midwive if your
    worried as well. They see always fantastic with any questions or queries

    Hi there, I am sure it is nothing to worry about, but if you can't reach your midwife, I would put a call into your doctors surgery so that you can discuss it with your GP. In the meantime check out the NHS guidelines for nosebleeds here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nosebleed/.
