Why my nose getting bigger during pregnancy?

Question

Im 6 months and honestly my nose looks wider in photos, even my sister pointed it out lol. Is this a real pregnancy thing or im just imagining? Anyone else noticed this with their face?

Haha, pregnancy nose is so real! Mine looked like a potato in the ninth month, but honestly, it went back to normal within a few weeks of delivery.

My doctor at Cloudnine explained that increased estrogen levels cause blood vessels to expand, which leads to swelling in the nose. You can ask your hospital staff about it during your next checkup if you feel uncomfortable.

I am in my second trimester and noticed my nose looking bigger too. I was getting so anxious about it, is this really normal for everyone?

Haan na, mere saath bhi yahi hua tha! Everyone was teasing me about my nose swelling, but it is just water retention and hormones, don't worry.

Beta, ye sab pani jama hone ki wajah se hota hai. Delivery ke baad chehra aur naak apne aap pehle jaise ho jayenge, bilkul chinta mat karo.

I have heard from friends that this is actually very common due to hormonal changes. Don't worry, I am sure it is just a temporary phase.

My face and nose were quite swollen even on the day of my C-section. But once the recovery starts and the extra water leaves your body, it all goes away.
