The increased blood volume may cause the small and sensitive vessels in your nose to break easily during pregnancy.

Some Women Have Tried...

Pinch your nose to stop a bleed.
Be sure to eat a diet rich in Vitamin C to promote tissue health and healing.
Blow your nose gently to prevent the breaking of blood vessels.
Use a humidifier or vaporizer to get more humidity around you during dry months.
Some women will rub a small amount of petroleum jelly in each nostril before going to bed.
