What Causes Nosebleeds?
10. Pregnancy
During pregnancy there will be more blood than usual flowing through the mother’s body. The increase in the volume of blood in the body will put more pressure on the delicate blood vessels in the nose. In some cases, this can cause the blood vessels to burst, and this can cause the nose to start bleeding.
This phenomenon will happen in around 20% of pregnancies. It is quite normal and there is no need to be concerned as the bleeding will usually stop within a few minutes. If you feel the bleeding is too heavy or is not stopping soon enough then you should speak with your doctor as soon as you can.
