Why is my nose getting bigger during pregnancy?

Question

I looked at my photos from last month and my nose really looks swollen. My husband says I am imagining it, but I feel my face has changed. Did this happen to anyone else?

Haha it happens yaar, blame the hormones. The whole face kind of puffs up a little. Dont stress about it, it goes away once baby is out.

Its very normal beta, the extra blood and fluid in pregnancy makes the nose look fuller. It is temporary and gets back to normal after delivery. Just keep urself hydrated.

Its the hormones and increased blood circulation causing some swelling in the face and nose. Happens to many, both my pregnancies my face puffed up. It settles after baby comes.

Mine got puffier too in the last months and I hated my photos. After delivery it slowly came back to normal within a few weeks. Its just the hormones and water retention, totally a real thing.
