Blood in nose: Increased nasal congestion is quite common during pregnancy. About 20% of women can experience nose bleeds during pregnancy. There is increased blood volume during pregnancy, which can increase pressure and if small blood vessels break it could cause a nose bleed. Crying hard can also increase risk.
