Not to worry. Nosebleeds are a super common side effect of pregnancy, even if a bit yucky.

Pregnancy makes the blood vessels in your nose expand, and all that extra blood circulating throughout your body can put extra pressure on those lil vessels of yours, which causes them to rupture. A pregnancy cold as well as a sinus infection or allergies will increase your chances of getting them, especially when the membranes in your nose start to dry out, as does cold weather and environments with dry air.



Of course, if it feels like your nosebleeds are beyond the “normal” range, call your healthcare provider.
