Inconvenient and even embarrassing as they can be, nosebleeds are a perfectly normal pregnancy symptom. Your increased blood supply puts pressure on your nose's delicate veins. The membranes inside your nose may also swell and dry out, especially in winter. These changes can cause those veins to rupture quite easily, bringing about minor nosebleeds.

When your nose bleeds, stay seated and put pressure on the bleeding nostril for at least four minutes. (Don't lie down: The blood will run into your stomach, which could cause nausea or even vomiting.)

Consult your doctor if you frequently have heavy nosebleeds, or if the above measures don't stop the bleeding.
