1. Nosebleeds are quite common in pregnancy because of hormonal changes.
2. During pregnancy, you may also find that your nose gets more blocked up than usual.
3. Sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose for 10-15 minutes.
4. Lean forward and breathe through your mouth. Not backwards.
5. Sit or stand upright, rather than lying down.
6. Holding a covered ice pack, or frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel, on the top of your nose will help reduce blood flow.
7. Avoid blowing your nose, bending down and much physical activity for at least a day after a nosebleed.
