Pregnancy Diary

Nosebleeds are more common during pregnancy than many people realize,it will last from early sign of pregnancy to the third trimester. But What causes them?

When pregnant, a woman has an increased amount of blood running through her body. Her blood vessels are more sensitive and the vessels in the nose expand. When the air is dry and the nostrils dry out, the veins are vulnerable and often a nose bleed occurs.

How to deal with?
You should first attempt to stop it in the same way you would a normal nosebleed, if you get a nose bleed while pregnant. Such as apply pressure to the nostril for at least 10 minutes with your head tilted forward and above your heart, or try putting ice in the area to help the veins close up. f after 10 minutes your nose bleed does not stop, talk to your doctor to see if there is something else you can do.

How to Prevent a Nose Bleed
Drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated that will help keep your nose from drying out – dehydration can cause the veins to break and a nose bleed to begin.
Blow gently,for blowing too hard can put extra pressure on the veins and cause them to burst.
Try to use a humidifier if the air is dry around you.
Use a nasal lubricant to help keep your nostrils moist, stay away from nasal sprays and decongestants as they can further dry out your nose.
