Im never going to be able to look at my toothbrush the same
As far as bloody noses go during pregnancy, the respiratory tract lining receives more blood during pregnancy. This is because of certain hormones that stimulate the blood flow in the body. As a result, the respiratory tract is often much more congested, which may also lead to nosebleeds. A second side effect that this increased flow of blood may have is sensitive or bleeding gums. I myself have had the bleeding gums when I brush my teeth at night, but not in the morning
If its really bothersome you could try a humidifier or vasaline up the nose
