Is it normal to have nose bleeds while pregnant?

Yes, it is. I've never had them during both pregnancies but my colleague (3 months later that I am) had them quite often during her pregnancy. This is because the blood vessels in your nose has expanded during pregnancy & with increased blood supply, more pressure is exerted on veins in your nose (which is delicate). This makes them rupture easily. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated & prevent nose bleeds from occuring.

Yes, it's pretty common. Two of my friends experienced this during their pregnancies. They also had blocked nose which often led to nosebleed when they sneeze. Both could only put up with it. As much as possible, they tried to blow their noses gently.
