Questions and Answers

Q. Here lately I been getting severe nosebleeds. I am six months pregnant and am wondering if this is a result of the pregnancy?

A. Yes, they are probably due to pregnancy and probably not helped by the dryness we normally experince during the winter months. Try using a humidifer to see if that doesn't help keep your nasal passages moist. The humidifer will also come in handy with the baby.
