My nose has been really stuffy since I got pregnant, and won't go away!!!Also I have found that it gets in the back of my throat and makes me throw up even more.
My nose seems to bleed almost every day. Its a very heavy flow and sometimes a headache is present with it.

This is my second pregnany. With the first, my nose become stopped up like around the 6th month, but with thid one I feel like I've been stopped up from day one. I use nose spray, my dr. says as long as my blood pressure is normal, the baby and I will be fine.

My nose bleeds about 1-2 times a day. My nose is also stuffy all the time and its green so I dont know if I have a sinus infection. Plus these headaches are killing me. Im only 11 weeks today.

Isn't it so annoyng when you can't breathe through your nose? And if that weren't enough, my nose runs all the time! How is that possible to have both at the same time? I go through SO much kleenex!! Any recommendations?

i know what you mean.. I am 28wks and I can't breath cause my nose is so stuffed up.. it is driving me crazy!!
my nose is always runny and i am always sneezing! It is so annoying and my nose just might fall off...lol. I am 16 weeks now and i don't think it is going to go away until I deliver.
Treatment or advice:
I have tried Benadryl, Chlortrimeton, Nasalcrom...all seems to work temporarily. I feel bad if I take them all the time. Don't like to take meds if I don't have to.

I had the stuffiness a lot with my last pregnancy and found that Breathe Right Strips, especially the ones with Vicks built it worked wonders. I've already started getting it this time around and need to go get some strips!
I recall having really dry sinus passages that prompted me to go to the Dr and thats how i found out I was 6 weeks pregnant!
My Dr told me that some women get it early one due to the hormones going craxy!
Treatment or advice:
I was prescribed some nasal spray called Rhino. Its the only one pregnant women can have. It worked well! Things got better after week 10.
Stuffed up like a cold but just in my nose and sinus'. Causes headaches, constantly blowing my nose.

This is my 3rd pregnancy. With the last two it was bad...but not this bad!!! I am constantly blowing my nose and tearing through the next box of kleenex. I was told that it is due to excess hormones that swell the nasal passage. Few more months and it's all done!
