Anyone getting nose bleeds?

I'm 16W + 4 and have been waking up with nose bleeds for the past few weeks. I have never been prone to them before. Is this a pregnancy thing? I've never heard of it, if it is.

Yeah i got loads when pregnant, a right pain in the bum they were. x

Two or three a day - its just the increased blood flow and if you are generally more susceptable to them then you will probably get more.

Oh yes. I get loads during pg, nothing to be concerned about but it is a huge PITA. Keep tissues handy to catch sudden gushes of blood ...

Yep at least two a day, like the ladies say; just keep a tissue with you. MW said it is swollen capilaries and extra blood flow. Nowt to worry about..xx

Thanks! That's really good to hear. Was starting to think I was a bit weird.

Quite normal in preg but just make sure your blood pressure isn't creeping up as that can also be a cause.
