What Causes Nose Bleeds And Lack Of Appetite During Pregnancy?
Hi, I m coming up 25 weeks pregnant and I keep getting nose bleeds and I feel really down most of the time. Also my appetite has suppressed quite a bit, I never had a huge appetite before I got pregnant, but it did get bigger and I did eat a fair bit, now it s just like I m never hungry.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Nose bleeding can occur in pregnancy as nasal stuffiness and vascularity increases in pregnancy, leading to bleeding from the nose.
Decreased appetite can be due to enlarging uterus pressing upon the stomach.
I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
