First, the bleeding. You are correct that bleeding like this can occur during pregnancy. It is more common in the dry winter months and usually occurs from dry membranes on the septal portion of our nose. To help this, I ask patients to place a thin film of vaseline on the nasal septum that is easily and comfortably reached with a fingertip. Before doing this however, I like to check a maternal platelet count to make sure that they are not low, which can also happen during pregnancy. Regarding the urinary frequency, you are only getting up once a night-wait, it might get to every hour later in pregnancy. That said, it never hurts to get a urine specimen checked for infection causing the frequency... Lynn
