Ok this sounds funny but my husband keeps teasing that my nose looks bigger these days, im in 7th month. Is it just the swelling on face or does the nose actually change? Anyone noticed this on themselves?
My hospital doctor actually told me this happens because estrogen widens the blood vessels, causing swelling in the nose. It's totally normal. But do report any sudden bloating or swelling to your gynac to rule out any issues.
My grandmother told me that nose swelling means it's a boy, but my doctor laughed and said it's just normal fluid retention! It is temporary and goes away after birth. Trust your doctor and stay relaxed.
It's basically just swelling due to increased blood flow and hormones [1.2.2]. Drinking lots of water and reducing salt in your food can help a bit with water retention. It is temporary, so don't worry about it.
Haan behen, mere saath bhi aisa hua tha! Pregnancy me chehra thoda phool jata hai aur naak bhi thodi badi lagne lagti hai. Par delivery ke baad sab pehle jaisa thik ho jata hai, chinta mat karo.
Yes, it is very common due to hormonal changes and fluid retention. You can gently massage your face upwards with cold water. But if you have sudden, severe swelling on your face and hands, please check with your doctor immediately as it could be high BP.
Oh god, 'pregnancy nose' is so real! With my twins, I looked like a cartoon character because of all the water retention, my nose literally became double. Don't worry, it goes back to normal once the baby is out.
