Can my nose get bigger during pregnancy?

Question

This sounds funny but my face looks different in photos and my nose seems broader. My husband says it is just swelling, but I can see it. Did anyone notice nose or face changes?

Aw dont stress about this one bit. Its just the hormones puffing things up temporarily. You look beautiful, and it bounces back, promise.

I felt like my whole face changed, especially my nose looked wider in photos. I got so self conscious. But honestly it settled down after baby came. Its just temporary swelling.

Yes its a real thing, hormones and water retention puff up the face including the nose. Both times it happened to me and both times it went back. Nothing to stress about.

Yep it can look bigger from the swelling. Goes back after delivery.

Haha yes the famous pregnancy nose! Extra blood flow and hormones cause some swelling so it can look a bit fuller. Mine went back to normal after delivery, dont worry it doesnt stay forever.
